The HDOT advertised the Mamalahoa Highway resurfacing project (between Makalei and Palani Junction) on Friday. Construction is slated to begin six months after bid opening .
Senator Green assured attendees of his Thursday talk story meeting that Hawaii County’s share of the Transient Accommodations Tax won’t be cut in 2012.
I recently spoke to the manager, who is overseeing the Palani Water Transmission project. He told me the fencing material arrived at CTS’s baseyard on December 16th. This material will be used to complete fence around the new Palani Road water tank. I’m planning on following up with him this week to get an update.
The HDOT director gave an update on several other transportation projects in West Hawaii at Senator Green’s talk story meeting on Thursday.
Queen Kaahumanu Highway improvements at Kiholo Bay is slated to be completed by March 16th, 2012
Queen Kaahumanu Highway intersection improvements at Kawaihae Road will be advertised by December 2012.
Lastly, the Kona side Saddle Road segment is scheduled to be paved beginning in December 2012. Kirkland Construction has up to 19 months to complete the earthwork for this phase. Nevertheless, I doubt they’ll get it done within the DOT’s estimated time frame.
