The Kalihi Channel is located west of Sand Island but is not used because the Sand Island Access Road drawbridge over the channel is permanently fixed in place to allow for the uninterrupted flow of containers to and from the container terminals on Sand Island.

The John H. Slattery (Sand Island) highway bridge over the harbor end of Kalihi Channel has fixed spans with a clearance of 14 feet. A Federal project provides for a 23-foot channel leading from seaward in Māmala Bay through Kalihi Channel on the W side of Sand Island to
Kapālama Basin.
