Residents and commuters in Kapa‘a, take note—the Department of Public Works and GP Roadway Solutions has got construction plans that will affect your travels mid-November. Specifically, they've announced lane closures on portions of Kahuna Road, from Waiakea Road to Kawaihau Road, slated for November 12 to 15. The work hours are from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., assuming the weather plays nice.
The hassle of redirected traffic, according to the official statement, is due to necessary guardrail repairs and installation work. While the timing may not be ideal, it's a small price to pay for safety enhancements. No parking will be allowed in the work zones, so those parking nearby will need to find alternative spots—unless they want their vehicle towed.
We all know the drill: when these closures happen, congestion knows no bounds. So it's probably best to book it early to wherever you're headed, or better yet, take an alternate route to skirt the construction craziness. Flaggers will be present, doing their thing to guide vehicles safely through the construction dance.
And yes, questions might be buzzing in your mind like bothersome flies. For the answers you seek, reach out to GP Roadway Solutions at 808-275-5263, or for a broader view of the roadworks orchestra, give the Public Works Roads Division Main Office a ring at 808-241-4847. Let's hope for clear skies, because if the heavens decide to pour, the schedules might just shift.
