Protracted construction along Hulemalu Road in Līhu‘e has residents bracing for additional weeks of traffic disruptions. The Department of Public Works, together with their contractor GP Roadway Solutions, has announced an extension of lane closures on this stretch through February 14, affecting weekday traffic from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., according to an update citing weather as a conditional factor.
Commuters are advised to plan ahead to adequately maneuver the inconveniences poised by the ongoing work, which is focused on crucial guardrail repair and installation. Those traveling in the area are being asked to seek alternate routes during these hours and to allocate extra travel time to reach their destinations. The commitment to maintaining safety features along Hulemalu Road is evident in the meticulous attention to detail being executed by the maintenance crew, yet it necessitates a period of patience and flexibility from the local community.
No parking will be enforced in the work zones while flaggers are set to manage the flow of vehicles around the construction. Clear directives will aim to minimize the impact on the daily lives of residents and visitors as they navigate these interruptions in their routines.
Direct contact information has been provided for those requiring further details or wishing to express concerns. GP Roadway Solutions can be reached at 808-275-5263, while the Roads Division Main Office welcomes inquiries at 808-241-4847.

The updated press release is available at County of Kauai's website and was published yesterday.
