KAPA‘A - The Department of Public Works and Grace Pacific LLC., are announcing that a portion
of Kawaihau Road will be closed from Jan. 23 to Jan. 27, from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The periodic one-lane closure and road narrowing on Kawaihau Road are necessary for clearing
and grubbing, roadway excavation, and sidewalk construction.
Motorists are advised to expect brief and occasional delays. Please exercise caution and drive
slowly when commuting through the work area.
The project aims to construct a peanut-shaped roundabout, sidewalks, paved shoulders, and
various other roadway improvements to help improve the safety and operations of the 5-way intersection
of these three roads and for people using multiple modes to travel efficiently and safely through Kawaihau
Road, Hau'a'ala Road, and Mailihuna Road located in Kapaʻa. This area contains St. Catherine's
School/Church, Kapaʻa High School, Kapaʻa Elementary School, Mahelona Hospital, and Gore Park.
The project has an estimated completion date of July 2023.
Dates and times are subject to change depending on weather and other factors.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Junard Mata of Grace Pacific, LLC. at
