Nāwiliwili residents and commuters should be aware of expected delays on Niumalu Road this week due to a scheduled one-lane closure. According to the County of Kaua'i Department of Public Works and their contractor, as posted on the Kauai County website, Maui Kupono Builders, the closure will affect the section from Nāwiliwili Road to Wa‘apa Road on weekdays, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., until Monday, weather permitting. Homeowners and businesses along this route may experience some inconvenience.
The purpose of the road resurfacing on Niumalu Road is to improve travel conditions, but it will involve heavy machinery and commercial vehicles working alongside regular traffic. The end date for this project has been extended beyond tomorrow to accommodate additional work. Motorists are advised to drive carefully, as intermittent full closures may occur. It is recommended to plan ahead, consider alternative routes, and allow extra time for travel. No parking will be allowed within the work zones, and flaggers will be present to direct traffic.
For more information on how this may affect your daily routine, you can contact Maui Kupono Builders at 808-369-1800 or Todd Ozaki from the County of Kaua‘i at 808-241-4845. They are available to answer questions and provide details about the roadwork logistics.
