Short closure of Waipi‘o Valley Road announced

Waipi‘o Valley Road will be temporarily closed for part of Wednesday, Feb, 7, to facilitate the installation of state-of-the-art fiber optic cable lines.

The closure is scheduled to occur from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., according to the Hawaii County Department of Public Works.

The infrastructure upgrade aims to enhance communication capabilities and provide improved internet services to the residents and businesses in the area.

To ensure the safety of the public and workers involved in the project, visible traffic control signs and barricades will be strategically positioned along the roadside. These measures are implemented to guide motorists and pedestrians away from the construction zone during the specified timeframe.

It is imperative that no traffic is allowed through this area for the duration of the closure.

Residents, businesses and visitors are encouraged to plan their activities accordingly during the temporary road closure.

DPW and Hawaiian Telcom appreciate the understanding and cooperation of the community as they work to complete this important project efficiently and safely.
