Paving of Pu‘ainakō Street to be completed in August

Completion of the Puʻainakō Street Resurfacing Project was delayed due to a 60-day suspension during seabird fledgling season, 48 weather-related unworkable days and construction delays.

Initially slated to be completed in May, Hawai‘i Department of Transportation states the project should now be completed by August. However, that could change due to weather.

The continued work on Puʻainakō Street is a daily single-lane closure from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. for repaving. Special duty police officers will be on-site to direct traffic during the alternating lane closure.

To ease impact on the surrounding schools subsequent work on this project is to be completed as nightwork throughout August between the hours of 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. Work dates will be announced as scheduled.

Remaining work on Puʻainakō Street includes the installation of speed humps, loop detectors and striping.

Electronic message boards will be posted to notify motorists of closure information. HDOT reminds motorists to drive with caution and to follow all traffic control signs through the work zone area.
