The freeway then runs on [[Windward Viaducts]] through Hālawa Valley for about {{convert|6|mi|km|spell=in}} until it reaches the [[Tetsuo Harano Tunnels]] through Koʻolau Range. Once on the eastern end of the tunnel, the freeway follows a viaduct built along the side of [[Haʻikū Valley]] until the Kaneohe Interchange with [[Hawaii Route 63|Route&nbsp;63]] ([[Likelike Highway]]) which leads into the town of [[Kaneohe, Hawaii|Kāneʻohe]]. The freeway then continues past the Kaneohe Interchange to the Halekou Interchange with [[Hawaii Route 83|Route&nbsp;83]] ([[Kamehameha Highway]]) and from there to the Kauila interchange with [[Hawaii Route 65|Route&nbsp;65]] (Mokapu Saddle Road) and the Mokapu Interchange serving Kaneohe Bay Drive. After the Mokapu Interchange, H-3 spans a causeway between [[Kāneʻohe Bay]] and Nuʻupia Pond and ends at the main gate of [[Marine Corps Base Hawaii|MCBH]].
