LĪHUʻE, Hawaiʻi – The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT) notifies road users of a single lane closure on the Kapaʻa Bypass Road between Kūhiō Highway (Wailua) to Olohena Road (Kapaʻa) beginning Monday, May 4. The lane will be closed from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. from Monday through Saturday for application of sealant, which must be done during the day to allow the sealant to cure.

 

The two-way bypass road was recently paved and needs new striping, which will take place from Thursday, May 14 to Saturday, May 23, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily except Sunday. The entire project is scheduled to be completed by the end of May, 2026.
