Hawai‘i County Department of Public Works construction on Māmalahoa Highway in Waimea will result in traffic being reduced to one alternating lane of travel 24 hours a day between the intersection of Mana Road and the West Hawai‘i Office of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, weather conditions permitting.
The traffic pattern change will be in effect starting at 6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 23 through 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 28.
Work will consist of the removal of the existing road, excavation, installation of a new road subbase, as well as base, paving, and temporary striping.
Motorists should expect delays during the roadwork and are encouraged to take advantage of a detour traveling on Mana Road to Kamāmalu Street. Electronic message boards and advanced warning signs will be placed along the highway. Traffic control officers/flaggers will also be on the project site to direct traffic.
