"The traffic out to Ewa Beach SUCKS" is something I hear almost daily.  That statement is a fact unless you like sitting in traffic.

Why is there so much traffic going into Ewa Beach?  Because all of those people on that road have found Ewa Beach to be a great place to live including my family and I.   Most of the homes are new or newer construction, lot sizes are pretty decent and the homes are some of the most affordable on the island.  The sun shines more in Ewa Beach that most other places on the island and yes, it gets HOT in Ewa Beach but isn't that part of the reason you want to live in Hawaii?  We also have the most golf courses out of any city on the entire island (Hawaii Prince Golf Course, Ewa Beach Golf Club, Coral Creek Golf Course, Westloch Golf Course, Ewa Villages Golf Course, Barbers Point Golf Course and the soon to open Hoakalei Country Club.

Military LOVE Ewa Beach just like my family did when we bought our home here.  Our current neighbors are stationed at Schofield Barracks Tropic Lightning Division, Wheeler Army Airfield, Pearl Harbor, Hickam AFB, Marine Corps Base Kaneohe (on the other side of the island), Camp H.M. Smith and Tripler Army Medical Center.

Getting back to the traffic on Ft. Weaver Road.......here is a map of the road in question.  From Schofield Barracks/Wheeler Army Airfield to the H-1 Highway, the road is called "Kunia Road".  Once it passes under H-1, it turns into Ft Weaver Road.  The total distance from Schofield Barracks/Wheeler Army Airfield to Ewa Beach is approximately 12 miles.

Ft. Weaver Road is currently under construction with the addition of 2 new lanes for a total of 3 lanes in each direction.  This next map shows the current progress of the road construction which is expected to be completed by the end of the year.  We also have the new "North-South Road" which is also under construction.  This is another road that will allow people to travel to the H-1 Highway.  Once all of this construction is completed, we may see some much needed relief on the roads.

 The picture below shows the entrance to the Ewa Beach Golf Club.  Nice course!  Beautiful seashore paspalum greens and fairways.  A little bit of water and tight fairways.  A very good challenge from the tips.
