The Hawaii Department of Transportation alerts motorists to intermittent full closures on Kuhio Highway between the Hanalei Fire Station and Ohiki Road on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The closures will be between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. every half hour for emergency work being done to stabilize Hanalei Hill. The closures are intended to keep vehicles below the work area safe as a helicopter crew flies in to place wire mesh on the hillside and anchor loose soil.
Full closure schedule for both days:
- 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.
- 9:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.
- 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.
- 11:30 a.m. to noon
- 12:30 p.m. to 1 p.m.
- 1:30 p.m. to 2 p.m.
- 2:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.
- 3:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Road opens at the top of every hour with work concluded at 4 p.m.
