Portions of Hanapepe Bridge on Kauai face repairs

Kauai County officials announced that a portion of the Hanapepe Bridge will be closed Monday through Wednesday, 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.
A wooden barrier will be temporarily placed on the eastern end of the bridge during this period as part of the county’s training exercises for the Hanapepe Flood Control Project.
Implemented in 1960, the flood control project is designed to prevent the Hanapepe River from flooding the town.
Motorists are advised to allow additional driving time and to seek alternate routes during the bridge closure. Westbound motorists on Hanapepe Road will be redirected to Iona Road and Kaumuali’i Highway. Those heading east will be detoured to Pu’olo Road and Kaumuali’i Highway.
