Repaving project on Wawae Road will limit access to homes next week

Residents living off Wawae Road are asked to prepare for a repaving project that will fully close the road during the day next week in Lāwaʻi.

The County of Kauaʻi Department of Public Works and contractor, Earthworks Pacific Inc. (EPI), will fully close a portion of Wawae Road for repaving work from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. from Aug. 18 to 22.

Due to the landslide on Wawae Road, there will be no access to another route, and therefore, limited to no access to and from homes during the project. Those who need to leave for the day are urged to plan to leave before 8 a.m. and return at or after 4:30 p.m.

According to Public Works, the contractor will do their best to allow access at the top of each hour for 10 to 15 minutes.

Prior arrangements will be necessary to accommodate these closures. Allow extra time to reach destinations. There will be no parking in the work zones, and flaggers will be positioned at the work zone to direct traffic.
