Hanapēpē Bridge on Hanapēpē Road scheduled to be closed for construction from July 22, 2024, to April 11, 2025

HANAPĒPĒ – The Department of Public Works and Kiewit West Infrastructure Co. are announcing that Hanapēpē Bridge on Hanapēpē Road will be under an extended closure from July 22, 2024, to April 11, 2025. Work will occur on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5:30 pm; however, the bridge will remain closed at all times.

The scope of this $3 million project includes replacing the pedestrian walkway, spalled concrete repairs to the bridge abutments, piers, and deck, reinforcement and thickening of the bridge deck, and an overlay with a new asphalt surface, among other repairs. The bridge's historical appearance will remain the same.

Motorists are advised to make the appropriate arrangements to accommodate the necessary road closures, use alternative routes, follow detour signs, drive with caution, and allow for extra time to get to destinations.

Dates and times are subject to change depending on weather and other factors. Anyone with questions may contact Greg Uyematsu or Gibson Scott of Kiewit Infrastructure West Co. at 808-674-1088. They may also contact Aidan Smith or Nick Jefferies of the County of Kaua‘i Engineering Division at 808-241-4883 or email pwengineering@kauai.gov.
