The Hawai‘i Department of Transportation plans to declare a traffic emergency zone on Kaumuali‘i Highway near mile post 24.4 in in the vicinity of Kῑkῑaola Boat Harbor for emergency culvert repair.

The department is planning two nights of lane closures of the route: Tonight and Wednesday from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. with short, intermittent, full closures to conduct temporary pavement repairs. Follow-up work to repair the culverts and conduct permanent pavement repairs is still being scheduled.

A traffic emergency zone declaration will allow the Hawai‘i Department of Transportation to expedite procurement and permitting to take action to construct improvements to protect access to the state highway.

Anyone wishing to comment on the designation of Kaumuai‘i Highway at mile post 24.4 as a traffic emergency zone may do so through a virtual public meeting to be conducted within 24 hours of the designation.
