Residents and commuters along Akemama Road should brace for traffic disruptions next week, as the Department of Public Works has scheduled lane and road closures for maintenance work. According to a recent announcement, the necessary closures will take place from November 17 to November 21, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., contingent on favorable weather.
The lane closures are slated for Monday, November 17, and will continue intermittently through Wednesday, November 19, to Friday, November 21. The Department has reiterated that these measures are critical for the safety of the public and to facilitate the Roads Division crews in completing the required culvert and road repairs along the county right-of-way.
A complete road closure is also on the books for Tuesday, November 18, to enable the crew to perform the more extensive parts of their work. Commuters are advised to plan ahead for these alterations in their travel, possibly opting for alternate routes, and to anticipate needing additional time to reach their destinations during the closure period. Furthermore, parking will not be permitted in the work zones for the duration of the project.
To assist traffic flow, flaggers will be positioned at the work zone to guide vehicles. Nevertheless, travelers should expect some congestion and delays around these areas. For those seeking further clarification or needing to pose any questions, they can contact the Roads Division Main Office at 808-241-4847 or via email at [email protected].
