LIHU‘E — The boat ramp loading dock at Kukui`ula Small Boat Harbor (SBH) has been closed so support beams for the structure can be repaired.
The Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation (DOBOR) announced the closure Tuesday, explaining the support beams for the loading dock delaminated. As a result, the pier is sagging, creating a potentially hazardous situation.
DOBOR is expecting the replacement project to start in mid-October and anticipates completion by mid-November. The $292,292 contract was awarded to Sea Engineering Inc..
The facility’s launch ramp remains open, but will close temporarily when construction begins. This will involve the demolition of the old boat ramp loading dock and installation of the replacement.
