Lane closures slated next week in Kapa‘a as roundabout work continues

Work continues on the new roundabout in Kapa‘a and portions of of Kawaihau, Hau‘a‘ala and Mailihuna roads will again be closed next week to accommodate.

The closures are scheduled from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Oct. 16-20. Dates and times are subject to change depending on weather and other factors.

During the closures, lanes will be shifted. Kawaihau, Hau‘a‘ala and Mailihuna roads will also experience temporary road narrowing. Additionally, during student pick up and drop off times at Kapa‘a High School and elementary schools, construction will be minimized.

Motorists are advised to expect brief and occasional delays, should exercise caution and drive slowly when commuting through the work area.

The project includes the construction of a peanut-shaped roundabout, sidewalks, paved shoulders and various other roadway upgrades to improve the safety and operations of the five-way intersection of Kawaihau, Hau‘a‘ala and Mailihuna roads.

The area is home to St. Catherine’s School/Church, Kapaʻa High School, Kapaʻa Elementary School, Mahelona Hospital and Gore Park.

The project is estimated to be completed in February 2024.
