When I lived in Hawaii the H1 and H2 were getting underway and the 
designation was all about federal funding.  We too joked about the 
bridge or tunnel that would have to be built to connect these two 
roadways to the rest of the interstate system.  And at the time the 
drinking age in Hawaii was 18.  Because the feds were footing the bill 
for the interstate construction, maintenance and repairs, they were 
applying financial pressure to raise the d.a. to 21.  Those of us under 
21 and not living on Oahu were really pissed because we weren't getting 
fed funds to fix our roads and would have to pay the ultimate price of 
not drinking for a couple more years.
