Starting tomorrow, one lane of Hauaala Road in Kapaa near the Kuhio Highway intersection will be closed for two days to allow for improvements to be made to the roadway. Traffic will be contra-flowed on Haua‘ala Road while the work is underway. Work hours are Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The roadwork is part of the $2.5 million Eastside collector road project involving improvements to Hauaala, Mailihuna and Oloh?na roads. Portions of the roadways are being reconstructed and resurfaced, along with ancillary work including improvements to the shoulders, road striping, as well as the installation of traffic signs and pavement markings.
Funding for the project is provided through an 80/20 matching grant from the Federal Highways Administration with FHWA providing $2 million and the county’s share being $500,000.
