Hawaii Route 80 follows Kamehameha Highway for 1.189 miles north from Route 99 (Wilikina Drive) to Wahiawa back to Route 99 (Kamananui Road) west of Whitemore Village. Route 99 lines Kamehameha Highway north from Route 80 to Route 83 near Halewai and Oahu's North Shore. Kamehameha Highway south also follows Route 99 from Route 80 near Wahiawa to Waipio Acres and Waipahu.

Route 80 previously extended 2.2 miles northwest from Kamehameha Highway along Kaukonahua Road to what was Route 99 along Wilikina Drive. Kaukonahua Road was subsequently renumbered as Route 801. Wilikina Drive northwest of Kamananui was redesignated Route 803, and Route 99 was realigned over what was Route 82 along Kamananui Road and the continuation of Kamehameha Highway north from Route 80 to Weed Circle.
