The manager overseeing the Ane Keohokalole Highway project provided an update on the upcoming concrete paving on Palani Road.
Nan is slated to start pouring the concrete for the Palani Road sidewalk/curb/gutter next Monday. This phase is slated to take up to four weeks to complete, but may be finished sooner.
The overall Palani Road paving schedule won’t be finalized until the curb/gutter/sidewalk phase is underway (likely in two weeks).
Nan is slated to start pouring cement for the new roadway (on the Ka’u side) on November 15th, 2011.
Please follow the temporary traffic control measures by Kealakehe High School. Several drivers are willfully ignoring these measures, which is causing traffic disruptions on Puohulihuli Street.
I noticed the homeowner by the Ulua’oa Street/ Palani Road intersection recently demolished the rock wall abutting the intersection. This obstruction limited the slight distance for drivers trying to make a left turn on to Palani Road.
I e-mailed Warren Lee, the Hawaii County DPW Director, about this demolition work. He confirmed the county asked the homeowner to demolish the offending rock wall.
