Lane closures for sections of Kawaihau Road from July 24 to July 29

Published on July 18, 2023

KAPA‘A - The Department of Public Works and Grace Pacific LLC., are announcing that portions of Kawaihau Road will be closed from July 24 to July 29, from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The closure is necessary for roadway excavation and construction. This work will occur on Kawaihau Road in between the newly constructed roundabout and Nunu Road. During this time, lanes will be shifted to help accommodate for the construction. Please note that Kawaihau Road will experience temporary road narrowing.

Motorists are advised to expect brief and occasional delays. Please exercise caution and drive slowly when commuting through the work area.

The project aims to construct a peanut-shaped roundabout, sidewalks, paved shoulders, and various other roadway improvements to help improve the safety and operations of the 5-way intersection of these three roads and for people using multiple modes to travel efficiently and safely through Kawaihau Road, Hau'a'ala Road, and Mailihuna Road located in Kapaʻa. This area contains St. Catherine's School/Church, Kapaʻa High School, Kapaʻa Elementary School, Mahelona Hospital, and Gore Park.

The project has an estimated completion date of November 2023.

Dates and times are subject to change depending on weather and other factors.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Junard Mata of Grace Pacific, LLC. at 808-694-9784.
