Environmental study underway for proposed improvements to Kūhiō Highway

The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT) will host an environmental open house for the proposed Kūhiō Highway improvements at Papaloa Road and Kapaʻa Bypass Road.

HDOT is conducting a study for the proposed improvements by looking at a range of topics, including alternatives to enhance safety, support multimodal connectivity, address travel demand and congestion, as well as the potential impacts on community, natural, cultural and historic resources within the project area.

Attendees at the open house will be able to share their input on the environmental study and learn about the proposed project, its current status, project timeline and participate in a question-and-answer session. This open house will be in-person only.

The open house will be from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, September 17 at the Sheraton Kauaʻi Coconut Beach Resort Makai Ballroom at 650 Aleka Loop in Kapaʻa.
