Lane closure for sections of Kapa‘a scheduled from April 17 to April 22
KAPA‘A - The Department of Public Works and Grace Pacific LLC., are announcing that portions of
Kapa‘a will be closed from April 17 to April 22, from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
A portion of Kawaihau Road and Mailihuna Road will experience periodic one-lane closures and
road narrowing. The closure is necessary for clearing and grubbing, excavation, and construction. During
this time, lanes will be shifted to help accommodate the construction.
Please note that the new Kolohala Road entrance will be the permanent new route.
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 October 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
