Nighttime lane closures on Kūhiō Highway by Hanalei Hill complete

Full nighttime closures of Kūhiō Highway (Route 560) between Hanalei Plantation Road and ʻŌhiki Road are completed.

The closure, which ran from July 8 to Sept. 12, was necessary for the reconstruction of the pavement on Hanalei Hill, according to a news release from the Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation. Permanent striping was also completed.

The remaining single-lane closure work will be done during daytime hours beginning Sept. 22, which includes: drain work, guardrails, and planting. Completion of the Hanalei Hill slope stabilization, which includes the Waikoko slope work, is projected for November 2025.

Electronic message boards will be posted to inform road users of the work to come. For weekly lane closure information on Kauaʻi, visit https://hidot.hawaii.gov/highways/roadwork/kauai/.
