Kaupakalua project to close roads

Weekend work on road pavement reconstruction of Kaupakalua Road was scheduled to begin this weekend and continue over the next five months.

The Department of Public Works said although it had been preparing for work to begin on the nearly $4.8 million project for more than three months, repairs will still require total road closures on weekends.

The department said electronic signs have been installed on the Kokomo Road and East Kuiaha Road ends of the reconstruction work portion of Kaupakalua Road, and that motorists should expect traffic disruptions. Off-duty Maui police officers will direct drivers to detours around work areas. Access to residential areas will be allowed to residents only, the department said in a news release.

“Work is weather permitting. Contractor Hi Built LLC will determine by mid-day on Fridays whether work will proceed over the weekend. Road closures will be in effect from Saturday morning through Sunday evening,” according to the release.

Construction work includes removal of pavement, installation of reinforced asphalt concrete pavement, adjusting manholes and valves, and removing and/or replacing old guardrails, signs and posts.
