The closure is necessary to stablize the slope under the roadway.
The work consists of installing a new drain and placing shotcrete, or sprayed concrete, as well as anchor nails to stabilize the slope. The drain will help divert water away from the slope.
A temporary traffic signal will be placed on site to use the open lane for alternating traffic. Flaggers may be on scene during work hours.
This closure is part of the Traffic Emergency Zone designation that occured on Tuesday Nov. 10.
Variable message boards will be posted along Kūhiō Highway to alert road users. To view scheduled Kauaʻi lane closures for the week visit https://hidot.hawaii.gov/highways/roadwork/kauai/
