Lane closures for multiple sections of Kōloa Road and Maluhia Road scheduled Aug. 23 to 27,
Southbound lane of Ala Kalanikaumaka closed Aug. 19 to 29
KŌLOA – The Department of Public Works and Goodfellow Bros. LLC. are announcing there will
be partial lane closures on multiple sections of Kōloa Road and Maluhia Road from Aug. 23 to Aug. 27,
from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., for guardrail and shoulder work. Motorists are advised to expect brief and
occasional delays.
Additionally, from Aug. 19 to Aug. 29, Ala Kalanikaumaka will be closed to southbound traffic
from Kōloa Road to Lopaka Paipa Boulevard, in order for crews to complete the makai portion of the
Kōloa Road roundabout. This means that all eastbound traffic on Kōloa Road, heading into Kōloa Town,
will be detoured to Po‘ipū Road. During this closure, the Kōloa Road roundabout will be open to
westbound and eastbound traffic, and Ala Kalanikaumaka will remain open for northbound traffic.
As a reminder, large trucks and trailers and motorists coming from Kaumuali‘i Highway are
recommended to use Maluhia Road to access the Kōloa and Po‘ipū area. Ōma‘o Road is a narrow
residential road that is not intended to be used as a detour route and 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.
Substantial construction of the Kōloa Road roundabout is anticipated to complete by August 31,
2021. Final completion is anticipated by October 13, 2021. Dates and times are subject to change
depending on weather and other factors.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Tristan Gonzales at 808-462-8057 or Ryan
