Lane closures for sections of Mailihuna Road from July 17 to July 22

Portions of Mailihuna Road will be closed from July 17 to July 22, from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The closure is necessary for roadway excavation and construction. This work will occur on Mailihuna Road in between the newly constructed roundabout and the entrance for the Kapa‘a High School front office parking lot. During this time, lanes will be shifted to help accommodate for the construction.

Please note that Kawaihau Road will experience temporary road narrowing.

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.
