Tree trimming scheduled along Kaumuali‘i Highway in Kīpū

A section along Kaumualiʻi Highway in Kīpū will be closed next week for tree trimming maintenance.

The closure of the westbound shoulder between the Kauaʻi Humane Society and Halfway Bridge is scheduled for July 24-28 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Both lanes will remain open for motorists to travel through the work area.

According to Hawai‘i Department of Transportation, crews will require intermittent full closures of Kaumualiʻi Highway to cut down and remove dangerous branches that hang over the roadway. Traffic will be stopped for a maximum of five minutes at a time. Flaggers will be on site to assist with traffic control.

Motorists are advised to use alternate routes, if possible; to expect delays and proceed with caution through the work area. Electronic message boards will be in place to notify motorists of closure information.
