What is the status of repairs for Kaapuni, Olohena and Kawaihau roads?

The road to the “Valley House” appears to be undergoing resurfacing. Is this road the county’s jurisdiction or is it privately owned? If it falls under the jurisdiction of the county, what is the cost to repave the road?
This is a privately owned roadway. The county did not conduct the resurfacing work to this road.
