Puunene Avenue will be closed from Wakea Avenue to Kuihelani Highway nightly beginning at 8:30 p.m. Feb. 2-6.

For residential access for those living on streets adjacent to Puunene Avenue, workers will be in place to help direct motorists throughout the overnight closures.

There will be additional night closures on Puunene Avenue during the week of Feb. 9-13. The schedule for that work depends on the progress for this upcoming week and will be announced as it is confirmed, the county said.

The work is part of the Puunene Avenue improvements project, which is designed to help traffic flow and enhance vehicle and freight circulation with more lanes and updated traffic signalization, on one of central Maui’s main thoroughfares.
