Moving machinery in and out of Lihue
Lihue is the county seat of Kauai, and Nawiliwili Harbor, southeast of town, is the island's main seaport, so freight and vehicles reach Kauai by ocean. Machines leave Lihue on HI-50 (Kaumualii Highway) and HI-56 (Kuhio Highway), and a load taller than 14 ft needs a HDOT permit for the exact route.
