Roadwork in Kakaako
Sherry Goya, KIA Executive Director, received an email from Councilwoman Carol Fukunaga regarding the Grace Pacific’s scheduling of construction to begin work for the City & County of Honolulu’s project “Rehab of Streets 12E” in the Kaka’ako area on October 3, 2022 that will continue into July 2023. Their working hours will be from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm Monday-Friday. The attached map shows the roadwork areas in bold.
The work will include cold planing, resurfacing of asphalt concrete pavements and reconstruction of failed asphalt concrete pavement areas. Additional activities include tree pruning and/or removal trees identified by the arborist; adjustment of utility manhole frames and covers; reconstruction of damaged concrete curbs and gutters and sidewalks; installation of pavement markers, posts and signs; striping and markings; and installation vehicle detector loops.
Grace Pacific understands that their work will be disruptive to Kakaako businesses and residents, so they are trying to spread the word as far as possible. Roadway signs will read that illegally parked vehicles will be towed, if necessary, at the owner’s expense. Motorists are advised to proceed with caution through the construction area. They are handing out copies of a flyer to businesses and residents on the affected streets the last week of September and have mailed out hundreds of postcards to residences in the Kakaako area.
