Road repairs will disrupt traffic on Kamehameha Highway in Kaneohe between Kahekili Highway and the Heeia Stream bridge starting Monday, according to city officials.
From 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, the three-mile section of highway will be partially or fully closed at various times. Motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible and use alternate routes while crews are working. Special-duty police officers will assist with traffic control at the work site.
“Although the city only controls a small portion of Kamehameha Highway, we’re doing all that we can to make improvements until this stretch of the roadway can be completely refurbished,” said Mayor Kirk Caldwell in a news release.
Only TheBus Route 55 and local area traffic will be allowed through this portion of Kamehameha Highway during active construction. The work is anticipated to be completed by July 31, weather permitting.
