The County of Hawaiʻi Department of Public Works Engineering Division and their engineering consultant, Haley & Aldrich, are rescheduling the field activities on and around Waipiʻo Valley Road.
All fieldwork will now be conducted from Monday, May 16, through Friday, May 20. The road will be closed from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1-4 p.m. daily to all traffic going in and out of Waipiʻo Valley, except for emergency vehicles, to allow safe completion of fieldwork.
Geotechnical engineering work to improve road safety is the reason for the closure that will affect everyone, valley residents included.
