Interstate H-1 (abbreviated H-1 or I-H-1) is an interstate highway in Hawaii, United States, on the island of O‘ahu. Despite the number, this is an east-west highway—the 'H'-series (for Hawaii) numbering reflects the order in which routes were funded and built. H-1 goes from Makakilo at Hawai‘i State Rte. 93 (Farrington Highway) to Kāhala at State Rte. 72 (Kalanianaole Highway). East of Middle Street in Honolulu (exit 19A), H-1 is also known as the Lunalilo Freeway and is sometimes signed as such at older signs in central Honolulu. West of Middle Street, H-1 is also known as the Queen Liliuokalani Freeway; this name is shown on some roadmaps. It is the westernmost interstate highway in the United States.
