Ministry of Transport | The Kalanianaole Highway Improvements project is scheduled to be substantially completed by the end of 2022

HONOLULU – The Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) is providing an update on Phase II of the Kalanianaole Highway Improvement Project in Waimanalo.

The improvement project began in January 2022 and is expected to be essentially complete by the end of the year. Works completed to date include paving the Kalanianaole Highway from Makai Pier to Bell Street; and installation of new concrete sidewalks, curbs and gutters on the Mauka side of the Kalanianaole Highway from Inaole Street to Poalima Street.

Construction is currently working on rebuilding the sidewalk from Kaiona Beach Park to Aloiloi Street and installing a new drainage system from Moole Street to Tinker Road. We’re adding safety features like elevated pedestrian crossings at Kaiona Beach Park and Inoaole Street, and extending the sidewalk between Waimanalo Town and Kaiona Beach Park. These improvements will provide additional space for cyclists and pedestrians and will facilitate safe multi-modal access to the city of Waimanalo. The elevated crosswalks are expected to be completed by early September.

HDOT values ​​the public’s understanding as we improve road safety. Motorists can view a weekly roadwork schedule on the HDOT website at https://hidot.hawaii.gov/highways/roadwork/. All work is weather dependent.
