Heads up, Kīlauea residents and travelers: those using Koolau Road will need to plan for some added travel time starting tomorrow, Dec. 3. According to Kauai County government's press release, single lane closures are slated for a stretch of roadwork that's necessary for road repaving work. These closures, managed by the Department of Public Works and Maui Kupono Builders, are planned to take place daily from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. through December 19, dependent on weather cooperating.

During these times, travel disruptions are inevitable but manageable with a little forethought. Flaggers will be present to guide vehicles through the work zone, ensuring that traffic moves as smoothly as possible given the circumstances. Maui Kupono Builders, the contractor on duty, urges the public to use alternate routes when possible and to allow for extra travel time to reach their destinations.

For those seeking more details or having queries, Maui Kupono Builders can be contacted at 808-369-1800, and queries can also be directed to Todd Ozaki at 808-241-4845.
