In an update from the Department of Public Works, a stretch of the thoroughfare from the Po‘ipū Road roundabout to Spouting Horn Park will be limited to a single lane between April 21 and April 25 on weekdays, operational from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The one-lane closure, necessary for resurfacing work, had been previously scheduled to disrupt traffic from Feb. 24 to March 14, according to a County of Kauai update.
While the residents in the area will be granted partial access during these times, the roadworks are expected to cause some inconvenience for the general traffic flow. As reported by the Department of Public Works, no parking will be allowed in work zones, and electronic message boards will inform drivers about the road closures. Flaggers will also be present, ready to guide the traffic that will be directed through the work zone for those trying to navigate the area.
Grace Pacific, tasked with the road resurfacing project, encourages those with queries about the construction or traffic impact to get in touch. They can be reached at 808-688-3305 for further details. Todd Ozaki, a representative at the County of Kaua‘i, is also available at 808-241-4845 to address any concerns the public might have.
Kaua‘i residents and visitors planning to travel via Lāwa‘i Road during the specified dates are advised to make the appropriate arrangements to accommodate these road closures and are encouraged to allow extra travel time to reach their destinations. Electronic message boards will provide current information on the traffic situation, helping drivers to make informed decisions on their journey.
