HANAPĒPĒ – The Department of Public Works and Kiewit West Infrastructure Co., are announcing that the closure of Hanapēpē Bridge on Hanapēpē Road has been extended through early 2026, due to delays in constructing the waterline and obtaining additional federal funding for unanticipated additional repair work.
Work is anticipated to resume in October on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; however, the bridge will remain closed at all times.
Officials thank the community for their understanding and patience.
Motorists are advised to make the appropriate arrangements to accommodate the necessary road closures, use alternative routes, follow detour signs, drive with caution, and allow for extra time to get to destinations.
Dates and times are subject to change depending on weather and other factors. Anyone with questions may contact Greg Uyematsu or Gibson Scott of Kiewit Infrastructure West Co. at 808-674-1088. They may also contact Aidan Smith or Nick Jefferies of the County of Kaua‘i Engineering Division at 808-241-4883.
