During the nighttime work, there will also be a single lane closure on Kūhiō Highway in the northbound direction between Haleilio Road and Kuamoʻo Road.

 

Papaloa Road may be accessed from its northern connection with Kūhiō Highway in the vicinity of the Kapaʻa Temporary Bypass Road during the paving.

 

All work is weather permitting. If the paving job is rained out, another date will be announced.
