24-HOUR HALEAKALA HIGHWAY LANE CLOSURES

Roadwork continues on the Halekala Highway this week with one uphill lane of the highway closed in the Pukalani Bound direction. The concrete overlay project is being done to extend the life of the roadway by more than 30 years. One downhill, Kahului-bound lane will be contraflowed beginning at 3:30 p.m. every day this week except on New Years.

Motorists are advised to use caution and allow extra time for travel.

Contraflow times are: Monday afternoon, December 29, through Wednesday morning, December 31, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., nightly; and Wednesday, December 31, and Friday, January 2, from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m., daily.
