Beachgoers wait for a vehicle to pass to cross one of the bridges along Farrington Highway at Makaha Beach Park. Two bridges are slated to be demolished, with a detour to be built alongside, as new structures are built. Community members want a new inland road to be built instead since the area is vulnerable to weather events, prone to sand erosion and a danger to pedestrians.
