LĪHUʻE, Hawaiʻi – The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT) notifies road users of the nightly full closure of Kūhiō Highway (Route 560) on Hanalei hill, between Hanalei Plantation Road and ʻŌhiki Road, on Monday, April 6 and Tuesday, April 7 from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. This work was delayed due to shortage of material and weather. 

 

The closure is necessary for the crew to reconstruct the existing pavement on the Hanalei approach to the Hanalei Bridge. If the work is completed sooner than anticipated, the highway will reopen.  

 

There may be future closures for asphalt treatment that needs to be done on the Princeville side of Hanalei Bridge.  

 

First responders have been notified and will be able to go through the work area in case of an emergency. Variable message boards will be posted to inform the public.
