Puhi Ditch Bridge now open
KAPAHI – The Puhi Ditch Bridge located on Kawaihau Road just south of Waiakea Road is now
open to vehicular traffic with load limits under 3.5 tons.
Kikiaola Construction completed the emergency repair work.
“Mahalo to the residents and public for your patience with the inconvenience of the unexpected
closure of the bridge on July 29,” said Acting County Engineer Troy Tanigawa.
The Puhi Ditch Bridge will be closed for the permanent structural repair in mid-2022 once the
final design and permitting for the project are completed.
Please contact Donald Fujimoto at 241-4882 or via email at dfujimoto@kauai.gov if you have
any questions or comments on this matter.
