KOLOA — The county Department of Public Works announced a single-lane closure of Ala Kalanikaumaka (the western bypass road in and out of Poipu) in the vicinity of Lopaka Paipa Boulevard Thursday, Dec. 12, from 8 to 11 a.m., to allow Cushnie Construction Company, Inc. to pave, weather permitting.
The work is to help connect Lopaka Paipa Boulevard with Ala Kalanikaumakua. Flaggers will assist motorists during the closure.
Lopaka Paipa Boulevard is the primary street that serves the Koloa Estates subdivision, ending at Poipu Road.
Alexander & Baldwin’s Koloa Estates subdivision was approved by the county Planning Commission in 1999, and a condition of the subdivision required a connection of a street between Poipu Road (Lopaka Paipa Boulevard) and a future western bypass road (today known as Ala Kalanikaumaka).
Lopaka Paipa Boulevard also serves as a key component in the traffic masterplan for Koloa and Poipu. The extension and completion of the roadway is necessary since construction of housing units within the subdivision as well as the surrounding areas have been completed, according to a county press release.
