Road work scheduled for portions of Kawaihau Road in Kapa‘a

The Department of Public Works and Grace Pacific LLC., will be working on portions of Kawaihau Road starting May 1-6 from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

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

Motorists are advised to expect brief and occasional delays. 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, Hauʻaʻala 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.
