County to notify public as construction for Weke Road commences,
progresses
The Department of Public Works will be notifying the public of future dates of
construction for a portion of Welke Road that was damaged by the April flood.
On Monday, Jan. 7, the County of Kauai will give the project's contractor Earthworks
Pacific, Inc., permission to begin preparing for construction for a large portion of Welke Road.
In an effort to maximize public safety, a "Road Closed" sign will be posted just beyond
the Welke Road and Pilikoa Street intersection. Access beyond this point is limited to the
residents along the affected section of Welke Road and authorized construction personnel.
Pedestrians are encouraged to use the lateral access along the beach to reach the Hanalei Pier
area.
Motorists should drive with caution, expect delays, and adjust their travel times as
needed.
For more information, you may call Earthworks Pacific, Inc. at 808-256-4591.
