Due to contract and supply availability, the new estimated start of construction of the Kalanianāʻole Avenue Reconstruction from Kamehameha/Railroad Avenue to Kauhane Avenue will begin in April 2022. Adjusting the construction start date will also allow time to pursue a noise variance so that work can take place at night.
As mentioned earlier this month, the Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation will repave Kalanianāʻole Avenue between the vicinity of Verna’s Drive In and Hawaiʻi Gas but will address select areas with a temporary pavement overlay to allow for future underground utility and drainage work by the County of Hawaiʻi Department of Public Works (DPW).
Details on the areas and materials are:
- Between Kamehameha Avenue and Silva Street – Paving of the riding course with Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA).
- Between Silva Street and Kauhane Avenue – Reconstruction with Polymer-Modified Asphalt.
- Connection to Kuhio Street – Paving of the riding course with HMA.
Once the new construction schedule is set, a revised announcement will be posted to the HDOT website and sent via our GovDelivery distribution.
