Traffic Advisory: Waikele project

The Department of Design & Construction (DDC) would like to notify the public that Road Builders Corporation will be rehabilitating localized streets in Waikele. The project encompasses portions of Lumi‘aina Street and all of Lumi‘aina Place, Māhinahina Street, Ka‘amea Street, Alau Street, Ka‘e‘ele Street, Ka‘e‘ele Place, and Lelehuna Street. Work is expected to start on March 29 and be completed by the end of the year.

To minimize traffic flow disruptions and to accommodate access, the scheduled work will be done Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

Residents and motorists are advised that roadways are posted with “NO PARKING” signs to warn of the impending work. Please observe the dates and times of these notices as vehicles parked on posted streets will be towed at the owner’s expense. Observe and obey all traffic controls, posted signs and Special Duty Officers. Drivers should anticipate detours, lane and road closures delays and to allow extra travel time while driving through the work areas. Residents and local traffic such as deliveries and trash collection will be allowed during construction.

Every effort will be made to complete this essential work as quickly and with as little inconvenience to your community as possible. The asphalt material is hot, black and tacky; walking or driving across the pavement in an uncured state could cause serious burns and tracking marks onto driveways/sidewalks. Therefore, for your safety and protection from these hazards, we may delay your entry/exit through the construction area during work hours. Your assistance and cooperation during this project will be greatly appreciated.
