Crews with the county Department of Public Works and state Department of Transportation will start work on Stainback Highway Tuesday. Repairs are slated for the portion of the roadway from the Panaʻewa Rainforest Zoo to North Kūlani Road and will be done in three phases.
The road work is scheduled for 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday through Friday, weather permitting. Motorists should expect traffic delays, potential one-lane closures and flaggers directing traffic. Large trucks and personnel will be on the roadway.
Public Works will begin repairing potholes this week, with shoulder repairs starting in late October. The Department of Transportation will repave the roadway from the zoo to North Kūlani Road starting in January 2023.
