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 12 to July
16. Multiple sections of Kōloa Road will be under short lane closures for shoulder work from 7 a.m. to 6
p.m., expect brief occasional delays.
Continuing July 11 to July 17, a 24-hour closure will be implemented to complete the makai half
of the new Kōloa 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 northbound 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
Kaumuali‘i Highway to Maluhia Road to access Kōloa and Po‘ipū.
Construction of the Kōloa Road Roundabout is currently projected to be complete by Aug. 20,
2021. The current projected project final completion date is Sept. 10, 2021. Dates and times are subject
to change depending on weather and other factors. If you have any questions or concerns, please
