Lane Closures Scheduled Next Week on Some Island Roadways

The county Department of Public Works is informing the public about lane closures planned for or beginning next week on some island roadways.

‘Akuli Street and Hanamāʻulu Road near King Kaumualiʻi Elementary School

DPW and Goodfellow Bros. LLC. announced in a press release that sections of ‘Akuli Street and Hanamāʻulu Road will be under short lane closures from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. weekdays from April 11-22. There will be no work on April 15 in observance of Good Friday.

The closures are necessary for improvements to pedestrian access to the school, including new sidewalks, crosswalks and ramps.

Motorists should expect brief occasional delays and are reminded that the speed limit is 15 mph near King Kaumualiʻi Elementary while school is in session.

This project is scheduled to be complete in June.

Maluhia Road

DPW, Maui Kupono Builders and Goodfellow Bros. also announced in a press release that Maluhia Road is scheduled for lane closures from 7 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday, April 12, for asphalt paving work.

Brief traffic delays will be possible, so motorists are advised to plan accordingly and follow all traffic control signs and personnel in the work area.

“As a reminder, Ōma‘o Road is a narrow residential road that is not intended to be used as a detour route and not designed for high volumes of traffic or truck traffic,” said the press release. “The speed limit is 25 mph for the entire length of Ōma‘o Road.”

Through trucks are prohibited on Ōma‘o Road for the duration of this project.

Dates and times for both of these projects are subject to change depending on weather and other factors.
