KŌLOA – The Department of Public Works and Goodfellow Bros. LLC., are announcing that
multiple sections of Kōloa Road and Maluhia Road are scheduled for lane closures from July 6 to July 9.
Multiple sections of Kōloa Road will be under short lane closures for shoulder grading work from 7 a.m.
to 6 p.m., expect brief occasional delays.
Additionally, beginning Tuesday, July 6, 2021, a 24-hour closure will be implemented to
complete the Makai half of the new Koloa Road Roundabout. All southbound traffic heading into Kōloa
Town will be detoured to Ala Kalanikaumaka and Lopaka Paipa Boulevard. Ala Kalanikaumaka will be
closed at Lopaka Paipa Boulevard for north-bound traffic, and motorists will be detoured to Lopaka
Paipa Boulevard and Po‘ipū Road. Westbound traffic on Kōloa Road will be routed through the newly
constructed mauka half of the Kōloa Road Roundabout, and the left turn onto Ala Kalanikaumaka will be
permanently closed.
As a reminder, Ōma‘o Road is a narrow residential road that is not intended to be used as a
detour route and is not designed for high volumes of traffic or truck traffic. The speed limit is 25 mph for
the entire length of Ōma‘o Road. Through trucks are prohibited on Ōma‘o Road for the duration of this
project. Eastbound motorists from the West Side, Kalāheo, or Lāwa‘i are recommended to take

Construction of the Koloa Road Roundabout is currently projected to be complete by July 30,
2021. The current projected project's completion date is August 27, 2021. Dates and times are subject to
change depending on weather and other factors. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact
