Motorists navigating Kekaha Road in September should brace for some slowdowns as lane closures loom, according to an advisory from the Department of Public Works. From September 15 to 18, portions of Kekaha Road near Akekeke Road will experience lane closures to facilitate tree removal operations, the alert detailed.

The closures will occur between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. each day, and while the weather remains a contingent factor, the initiative spearheaded by The Cutting-Edge Land Clearing Solutions is deemed essential for public safety, seeing the inevitable inconvenience they argue is a necessary trade-off for the removal of a hazardous tree situated perilously along the roadway.

As such commutes could be extended during these times, The Department of Public Works is urging locals to plan accordingly, seeking alternate routes where possible and allotting additional time for travel. In an effort to streamline the process and mitigate disruptions, there will be no parking permitted in the zones under work, and flaggers will be on-site directing the flow of traffic around the work zones.

For residents with pressing questions or in need of further information regarding these September interruptions, the point of contact remains The Cutting-Edge Land Clearing Solutions available at 808-720-7748 with the Roads Division Main Office also on hand to assist at 808-241-4847, their goal is to ensure clarity and to minimize the impact on the community’s daily routines during this period of essential maintenance.
