#hana highway rockslide

County of Maui crews set up concrete barriers today to prevent traffic along a nearly 1-mile Hāna Highway road closure in Kīpahulu where unstable cliffs pose a safety hazard. The closure prevents motorists from traveling completely around the rural area that connects East Maui and South Maui.

Crews with the state Department of Transportation will continue work on Monday, Feb. 24, to remove loose material along the Hāna Highway near Mile 21, where a rock slide was reported on Saturday evening.

In Honomanū at MP13, there is a large landslide and a tree is blocking the Hāna bound lane. Also at MP16 there is a smaller rock slide blocking the Hāna bound lane.
