Portion of Wawae Road closed until further notice
KALĀHEO – The Department of Public Works announces that a portion of Wawae Road, between Kuli Road and Iwilei Road, in Kalāheo has been closed until further notice.
“After frequent inspections of the affected roadway, this area of Wawae Road has been closed immediately and until further until it is deemed safe, “said County Engineer Troy Tanigawa. “Following recent rains and the flooding event in April, the portion beneath Wawae Road continues to erode, compromising the roadway's stability.”
Road closure signs and barriers have been installed to alert motorists and prevent vehicular traffic.
Officials thank area residents and others who frequent the road for their patience and understanding. Updates will be announced as new information becomes available.
Anyone with questions may contact the Public Works Roads Division at 808-241-4847.
Wawae Road, between Kuli Road and Iwilei Road in Kalāheo, is closed until further notice.
