The closure is necessary for road resurfacing work.
The traffic plan in the area will include the following closures and detours:

Road. Only northbound traffic will be allowed through the work zone at this time.
• To bypass the closure, motorists traveling southbound from Kōloa Road may take either

• During school drop-off times, both lanes will be open. Crews will shut down southbound
traffic at 8:30 a.m.
• During school pick-up times, only the northbound lane will be open. Motorists coming
from the north may access Po‘ipū Road via Waikomo Road and Ala Kalanikaumaka and
Lopaka Paipa Boulevard.
Signs and Flaggers will be positioned along the closure to detour traffic around the work
zone. During this time, no parking will be allowed in the work zones.
Please make the appropriate arrangements to accommodate the necessary road
closures, detours, and adjusted traffic flow. Use alternate routes and allow for extra time to get
to destinations.
