The Kihei Islander bus route will change beginning Monday due to an extended closure of a portion of South Kihei Road, the county Department of Transportation said.

The closure is related to infrastructure work for a private commercial property and is expected to last around three months. The work will temporarily close five bus stops along South Kihei Road, including Kulanihakoi Street (northbound), Waipuilani Road (northbound), Piikea Avenue (northbound) and Kaonoulu Street (both sides, no shuttle service available).

A complimentary private shuttle service will be provided by the commercial property, every 15 minutes, at three of the bus stops taken out of service — Kulanihakoi Street, Waipuilani Road and Piikea Avenue. The shuttle will provide daily service from 6:30 a.m. to 9:15 p.m. including weekends, starting from Piilani Village Shopping Center. A map of the shuttle route can be found at mauicounty.gov/bus.

Bus riders are reminded to wear face coverings or masks while on the bus and to use the service for essential travel only.
