Lane closures for Kawaihau Road scheduled June 5 to 10

Published on June 01, 2023

KAPA‘A – The Department of Public Works and Grace Pacific LLC., are announcing that portions of Kawaihau Road will be closed from Monday, June 5, to Saturday, June 10, from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The closure is necessary for roadway excavation and construction. During this time, periodic one-lane closures will occur and 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, Hauʻaʻala 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.
