Traffic Alert: Temporary Kapa’a Bypass Road to be closed during daytime hours on May 7, 8

The temporary Kapa‘a Bypass Road (Route 5600) between Kūhiō Highway to Olohena Road will be completely closed during daytime hours on May 7 and 8.

This closure was originally scheduled for April 30 and May 1, but was delayed due to issues with the asphalt plant, according to the Hawai‘i Department of Transportation.

The one-way southbound road now will be closed on May 7 from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on May 8 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Traffic will be detoured to Lehua Street.

The closure is necessary for the reconstruction of weakened pavement areas and installation of new pavement at the approaches and over the existing steel bridge along the route.
