Road at Waimea Bay to be closed overnight
Advertiser Staff
Kamehameha Highway at Waimea Bay will be closed from 10 p.m. tonight to 3 a.m. tomorrow for work related to Saturday's rockslide, the state Department of Transportation said yesterday.The road will be closed so crews can place concrete barriers along the job site. The barriers are a safety measure, protecting work crews from traffic during fence repair work.
Drivers are advised to plan for alternate route during the road closure.
Plans now call for a temporary protective fence and barrier to be built in the next two weeks, which will allow the highway to be reopened to two lanes of traffic, one in each direction.
Work on a permanent replacement fence will follow.
