Phase 6 of Kailua roundabout construction improvements to start December 16
KAILUA – The City and County of Honolulu’s Department of Transportation Services (DTS) and Department of Facilities Maintenance (DFM) have completed Phase 5 of upgrades to the Kalapawai roundabout, located at the intersection of Kalāheo Avenue and Kailua Road fronting Kalapawai Market, and will begin work on Phase 6. Phase 6 of the project is set to start on Monday, December 16, and is scheduled for completion by end of January 2025. Phase 6 will include a road closure on the mauka bound lane of Kailua Road fronting Kalapawai Market.
All 9 phases of the project are on track to be completed by summer of 2025, though schedule delays can occur due to unforeseen conditions.
Residents traversing through this area should allow for extra time and expect congestion during construction times. We ask travelers to please exercise patience and caution when driving through this area, and to drive with aloha.
This federally-funded project will include various improvements, including an upgraded roundabout with higher-quality materials, new sidewalks, raised pedestrian crossings in the immediate vicinity of the roundabout, and new drainage infrastructure to address frequent storm water ponding. Drainage infrastructure will include permeable pavements, trench drains, pre-treatment tanks and rain gardens.
The construction manager for the project, Manthos Engineering, can be reached at: (808) 518-1853. Residents can also contact the City’s Department of Transportation Services at (808) 768-8320. Email inquiries can be sent to dtsteprojects@honolulu.gov.
