Portions of Kalihiwai roads to close next week

Kahiliholo and Kamookoa roads in Kalihiwai on the North Shore of Kaua‘i will be closed beginning Monday, Jan. 30, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., weather permitting.

Work on Kamookoa Road will take place on Jan. 30. Work on Kahiliholo Road will take place from Tuesday, Jan. 31 to Friday, Feb. 3.

These closures are necessary for road resurfacing work, according to the County of Kaua‘i Department of Public Works and its contractor Maui Kupono Builders.

One lane will remain open to accommodate alternating traffic in both directions.

County officials are asking drivers to make the appropriate arrangements to accommodate the necessary road closures, use alternate routes, and allow extra time to get to destinations. During this time, no parking will be allowed in the work zones. Flaggers will be positioned at both ends of the work zone to direct traffic.

Anyone with questions may contact Maui Kupono Builders at 808-369-1800 or Todd Ozaki at the County of Kaua‘i at 808-241-4845.
