Portion of Kolo Road in Kīlauea closed today

Hawai‘i Department of Transportation is notifying the public that a portion of Kolo Road in Kīlauea will be closed today.

Motorists are advised that Kolo Road, at its intersection with Kῡhiō Highway, between Kalamania Road and Kīlauea Road, will be closed from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., weather permitting.

The closure is necessary to complete a tie-in to a temporary road that will be used during construction of a roundabout on Kūhiō Highway at Kalamania Road/Kolo Road.

Traffic will be detoured to Pili Road or Hoʻokuʻi Road.

Electronic message boards are in place to alert drivers about the closure and detour.

Friday was identified as a possible weather contingency day, if needed. The state Transportation Department will update the public about any schedule changes.

This closure and other updates can be found online at the Kaua‘i roadwork page.
