For those planning to navigate through Ho‘one Road in the coming weeks, prepare for some delays. The Department of Public Works and its contractor, Grace Pacific, are scheduled to partially close the road beginning tomorrow and continuing through May 12. The closures will occur on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The reason is essential road resurfacing work intended to improve driving conditions for both locals and visitors, according to a recent announcement.
Those living in the area aren't to be entirely cut off; partial access will be provided throughout the duration of the closures. However, the situation calls for some adjustments on the part of commuters and residents alike. Electronic message boards are expected to be up to keep everyone in the loop and to hopefully ease right into the traffic adjustments.
Prepping for a longer commute is going to be essential as no parking will be allowed in the work zones during these times. Flaggers will be on-site to direct traffic, ensuring that the disruption is kept to a minimum while these improvements are put into place.
Anyone needing more details, seeking to navigate the upcoming congestion or having questions about the closures, should not hesitate to reach out. Grace Pacific can be contacted at 808-688-3305, and Todd Ozaki, from the County of Kaua‘i, is available at 808-241-4845. They've been tasked specifically to help streamline this process and to provide as much information as possible to those affected by the lane closure.
