Notice


The latest information regarding the Kihei-Upcountry Highway project follows below:

Due to comments received from our last public meetings, we have made adjustments to our then-recommended alignments No. 2A, 2B, 4B, and 5. The new alignments are illustrated in the above [see below] map and are named by the U-(Upcountry) termini in combination with the K-(Kihei) termini.

U1 - Halekala highway at Haliimaile Road intersection
U2 - Kula Highway east of Pukalani Bypass Road
U3 - Kula Highway south of Pulehu Gulch
K1 - Piilani Highway at Kaonoulu Street Intersection
K2 - Piilani Highway at proposed Road "F" intersection (south of Kihei Regional Park)

These alignments are currently being investigated in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) now being prepared.

We wish to thank you for your input into this environmental process and look forward to your continued support and interest as this project develops.

Please contact the Highways Division, Planning Branch, at (808) 587-1843 if additional information is desired.
