WAILUKU, Maui - Kaumahina Wayside along the Hāna Highway will be closed from June 12 - June 22 for a tree removal project.

The work will involve cutting, limbing, removal and transportation of the trees using heavy equipment. During this period, the park will be closed to all vehicular and foot traffic. No entry will be permitted for the safety of visitors and workers.

The project will be carried out by Top Notch Construction Inc. with a total cost of $47,000.
