Drivers in Līhu‘e are advised to plan ahead for the coming week, as the Department of Public Works, together with Kōkua Geotech LLC, is setting the stage for lane closures on Pikake Street and Nuhou Street. According to the official county press release, these closures will be taking place from January 20 to 23, and will run daily from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., provided the weather cooperates.

For those needing to travel through these areas, it's important to take note of the disruption. The lane closures are being implemented so that geotechnical subsurface exploration can be carried out, which is a crucial step in maintaining the integrity of our streets. However, it will mean a bit of a hassle for anyone trying to get around during those hours. Traffic might be a headache, especially since flaggers will be on site to direct vehicles through the work zones, creating potential delays. If you want to avoid the disruptions, it's a good idea to look for alternative routes or at least allow some extra time for travel.

Got any questions? You're not alone. You can reach out to Shayna Lopes of Kōkua Geotech LLC for more specifics on what to expect. Lopes is available at 808-313-9605, or you can drop an email to [email protected].
