What is the status of repairs to Aliomanu Road?
A portion of Aliomanu Road, located one mile east of Kuhio Highway, suffered erosion caused by waves and rising tides. Repairing that portion back to two lanes and installing a revetment on the oceanside to protect the road’s improvements is scheduled to be completed by November 2020.
Regarding repair to the storm drain on Aliomanu Road, that project is slated to begin in the next two months.
