To accommodate drivers in the area, the Maui County Department of Public Works has adjusted its closure for a section of the Piilani Highway in Kaupo to start two hours later than originally planned.

The section is now closing from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. May 5-8 for road repairs. The plan was to close the route starting at 6 p.m. nightly on those days.

The East Maui closure is just past mile marker 28. Motorists are asked to avoid the area during nighttime work hours. The closure is needed due to geotechnical work for the department’s Waiopai Embankment Repairs project.
