Lane closures for sections of Kapa‘a scheduled from June 26 to June 30

The Department of Public Works and Grace Pacific LLC., are announcing that portions of Kawaihau Road, Hau‘a‘ala Road, and Mailihuna Road will be closed from June 26 to June 30, from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The closure is necessary for roadway construction. During this time, lanes will be shifted to help accommodate the construction. Please note that the intersection of Kawaihau Road, Hau‘a‘ala Road, and Mailihuna Road will experience temporary road narrowing. Traffic Control will be in place and will vary with each roadway.

Motorists are advised to expect brief and occasional delays. Please 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, Hau’a’ala 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 November 2023.

Dates and times are subject to change depending on weather and other factors.
