Ulu Mahi road resurfacing closures extended to Oct. 23
The Department of Public Works has extended lane and full road closures in the Ulu Mahi Subdivision through October 23. Work will occur from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on several streets, weather permitting, for road resurfacing. No parking will be allowed in work zones, and flaggers will direct traffic.
The County of Kaua‘i Department of Public Works says resurfacing-related lane and full closures in the Ulu Mahi Subdivision will now last through Oct. 23. Crews are scheduled to work between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., if conditions allow, on Pua Nani, Aheahe, Aukoi, Palau Mahu, Kanani, Aheahe Place, Hili, Hili Place, Kepa, and Huna streets.
The Roads Division needs the closures to finish pavement work safely. Drivers are asked to plan alternate routes and extra travel time. Parking is prohibited in active work areas, and flaggers will guide vehicles. Questions can go to Maui Kupono Builders at 808-369-1800 or county contact Todd Ozaki at tozaki@kauai.gov.
The extended closures could affect Ulu Mahi residents, commuters, local businesses, and service providers who use these streets. Daytime lane and full closures, along with no-parking zones, may slow errands, deliveries, and appointments, while detours could add travel time and uncertainty. Flaggers may ease some congestion, but repeated work-zone changes could still inconvenience nearby households and workers. Once resurfacing is finished, smoother roads may benefit safety and travel quality for the broader community.
