Makiki stream, Round Top Drive repair work under way

Advertiser Staff

The Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) has begun restoration work to repair a stream bed, three bridge crossings, and the banks of Maunalaha Stream that were damaged by heavy rains in March 2006.

The project will cost approximately $686,000 and is expected to take 150 calendar days for completion, the DLNR said.

In addition to DLNR's remediation project for Maunalaha stream, another project to repair damaged road sections of Round Top Drive is being completed by the city so that it can be reopened for public use. The road has been closed since March 2006.

Once the city has completed its repairs of Round Top Drive, anticipated by the end of this year, DLNR will return to implement the final phase of its part of the work, to provide a more permanent slope restoration, as well as to revegetate/landscape the slope.
