Road closures scheduled for Wailuā, Kapa‘a

The Department of Public Works and Grace Pacific LLC have announced portions of Kapa‘a and Wailuā will be closed beginning Monday.

Closures in Kapa‘a will run from April 17 to April 22 and from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

A portion of Kawaihau Road and Mailihuna Road will experience periodic one-lane closures and road narrowing. The closure is necessary for clearing and grubbing, excavation, and construction. During this time, lanes will be shifted to help accommodate the construction.

Please note that the new Kolohala Road entrance will be the permanent new route.

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, Hau’a’ala 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 October 2023.

Dates and times are subject to change depending on weather and other factors.
