Highway intersection to close Thursday night

KAILUA-KONA — Access to Hina Lani Street from Queen Kaahumanu Highway will be restricted from 8:30 p.m. on Thursday through 6 a.m. Friday as crews continue to work on the Queen Kaahumanu Highway 2 widening project, according to the state Department of Transportation.

Northbound and southbound traffic on Queen Kaahumanu Highway will be allowed through the intersection.

Access to Hina Lani Street will be provided via Ane Keohokalole Highway and Kealakehe Parkway as the contractor paves the Hina Lani Street connection to Queen Kaahumanu Highway from Kanalani Street.

Special duty police officers will be on site to assist with traffic control and safety procedures. Emergency vehicles and first responders have been notified of the closure and will be allowed through the work zone.
