Residents and visitors in Anahola can expect relief soon, as officials plan to reopen the temporary bridge over Olokauha Stream along Anahola Road by mid-March, restoring a crucial local access route. This comes after a frustrating wait due to unexpected delays in the construction materials department, according to an update from the Department of Public Works and Cushnie Construction.
Pedestrian access across the stream remains open despite the detour of vehicular traffic, allowing people on foot to continue using the bridge. Officials say the project is nearing completion, though the bridge will remain closed to cars and trucks until all bolts are secured and safety inspections are finalized, as detailed by the county's press release.
Local authorities are urging the public to stay alert near the construction site to ensure the safety of both pedestrians and workers. The County has pledged to provide regular updates on the project, sharing any new developments—positive, negative, or neutral. Residents are thanked for their patience during the work, and for more information or direct updates, Cushnie Construction can be reached at 808-332-9000.
