[edit] Background

After the junction with Wapaa Road, Route 51 is signed with Rice Street for less than a mile. Route 51 then spilts off with Rice Street and becomes Kapule Highway where the final segment north of the airport was completed in 1988. The road intersects with Route 570 near the Lihue Airport. Heading north towards the eastern and northern towns of Kauai, Route 51 ends at the intersection with Route 56.
