Abstract
The Kapālama Canal Bridge was built by the City and County of Honolulu in 1930. The bridge is significant under Criterion A for its contribution to the development of an effective road transportation system on O’ahu. The construction of Kapa lama Canal Bridge and the development of Dillingham Boulevard opened the entire tract of land between King Street and Waiakamilo Road for expansion. The bridge is a five-span, reinforced concrete tee-beam structure, the most common in Hawai’i at the time, featuring narrow arched-top voids and a parapet design.
