Several Lane Closures in Effect

Several lane closures are in effect around the island this week, according to the county Department of Public Works.

‘Akuli Street and Hanamāʻulu Road Lane Closures

Sections of ‘Akuli Street and Hanamāʻulu Road, near King Kaumualiʻi Elementary School, will be under short lane closures from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. weekdays through May 6.

“The closures are necessary for improvements to pedestrian access to the school, including new sidewalks, crosswalks and (Americans with Disabilities Act) ramps,” said a news release from DPW.

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

This project is scheduled to be complete in June.

Kapa‘a Lane Closures

Portions of Mailihuna Road, Hau‘a‘ala Road and Kawaihau Road will be closed from 7 a.m.-3:30 p.m. through Friday, April 29. The makai driveway to Kapaʻa High School’s athletic field also could see temporary closures.

“These closures are necessary for clear and grubbing, roadway excavation and sidewalk construction,” according to a DPW news release.

Motorists are encouraged to allow for extra travel time when driving near the work area and follow all construction traffic controls.

“Please exercise caution and drive slowly when commuting through the work area,” said the release.
