Kekaulike Avenue between Waiakoa Road and ʻAlae Road to reopen
Posted on Apr 15, 2025 in Highways News, Main, NewsKAHULUI, Hawai'i - The Hawai'i Department of Transportation (HDOT) notifies highway users that storm-related repairs on Kekaulike Avenue (Route 377) in Kula have been completed.
Kekaulike Avenue between Waiakoa Road and ʻAlae Road will be reopened by noon, Thursday, April 17, a month ahead of schedule.
Kekaulike Avenue was closed in both directions in September 2024, to allow for repairs of a section of road that was heavily damaged during a severe weather event in December 2021. After the storm, the road was limited to one lane.
The project involved replacing a box culvert under the roadway, construction of a gravity retaining wall system and installation of guardrails.
HDOT thanks the public for its patience and understanding during the eight-month project.
