The County of Hawai‘i Department of Public Works Engineering Division announces that ongoing road improvements to 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, August 23, 2020, through Friday, August 28, 2020, at 5 p.m. 

Work will consist of removal of the existing road, excavation, installation of new road subbase and 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.

The County of Hawai‘i Department of Public Works apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause and thanks the community for their patience and understanding.

If there are any questions or concerns, please call the Brandon Adams at Goodfellow Brothers Inc. at (808) 887-6511.
