Pu`uopae Bridge to be temporarily closed for construction from Oct. 15 to
19; full closure estimated to last from Oct. 22 through June 2019
The public is advised that Pu`uopae Bridge in Wailua Homesteads will be temporarily
closed starting Oct. 15 through Oct. 19 in preparation for construction of the new Pu`uopae
Bridge. A full closure of the bridge will begin Oct. 22 and is estimated to last through June,
2019.
Located by the intersection of Kipapa Road and Pu`uopae Road, the bridge will be
temporarily closed to allow a safe working environment as crews will install temporary waterline
supports and additional supports on the bridge in preparation for demolition.
Full closure of the bridge will allow crews to remove the existing bridge deck, relocate
the Department of Water waterline, and construct the new Pu`uopae Bridge — which is
expected to be in service sometime around June 2019.
An alternative route is shown in a map below. Motorists should drive with caution, expect
delays, and adjust their travel times as needed.
For more information, you may call Drayko Construction, Inc. at 808-256-4591.
