KAILUA – The City and County of Honolulu’s Department of Design and Construction (DDC) wishes to inform the public of an upcoming rock slide mitigation project along Mokulua Drive, which will include rock removal, slope scaling and clearing of vegetation. The project is necessary to enhance public safety and minimize the risk of rockslides, potential for accidents, property damage, and disruptions to traffic flow while ensuring stability of the roadside.
Construction is expected to begin on Monday, April 1, 2024, and will last approximately 1 month, weather permitting. Work will be conducted on weekdays, from the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., excluding holidays. Parking in the Lanikai area will also be restricted from the start through completion of the project (March 29 through April 30 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.), including holiday weekends. We appreciate the patience and understanding of the public as we complete this necessary work.
