Road closure scheduled for portion of Wailua roadway

Part of a Wailua roadway will be closed this week.

Olohena Road, from Kamalu Road to Waipouli Road, will be closed from 8:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Oct. 24-28, weather permitting. The full road closure is necessary to allow the Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative and the Kaua‘i County Department of Public Works Roads Division to cut trees and remove debris from around utility lines.

Flaggers will be positioned at the intersections of Ka‘apuni Road, Kamalu Road and Waipouli Road, assisting motorists to the detour route of Waipouli Road.

Motorists should follow all construction signs, use alternate routes and allow extra time to get to destinations. An electronic message board has been installed to inform motorists.

Anyone with questions can contact Bryson Vivas at 808-241-4844 or via email at bvivas@kauai.gov.
