Kauai County Route 581 is an approximately 5-mile-long highway located in the Kapaa area. Kauai County Route 581 begins at Hawaii Route 580 and terminates in downtown Kapaa at Hawaii Route 56 (Kuhio Highway). This county route utilizes Kamalu Road, Olohena Road and Kukui Street. The Hawaii Route 581 corridor was one of the original 1955-era Hawaii Routes added to Kauai. Originally the highway appears to have used the Puuopae Bridge and Opaekaa Stream Bridge prior to being realigned onto Kamalu Road in the early 1960s. Hawaii Route 581 would become Kauai County 581 when the Hawaii Route System and County Route Systems were split in 1968. This page is part of the Gribblenation Hawaii Roads series.
