NOTICE OF KALANIANAOLE HIGHWAY RESURFACING,
VICINITY OF MAKAI PIER TO HANAUMA BAY ROAD
The Hawaii State Department of Transportation (HDOT) is proposing to resurface Kalanianaole Highway from Makai Pier to Hanauma Bay Road (approximately M.P. 6.9 to M.P. 12.49). The scope of work includes cold-planing; resurfacing; reconstructing weakened pavement areas; widening paved shoulders; upgrading grated inlets; upgrading and repairing existing culverts and headwalls; replacing damaged culvert with concrete pipe; addressing slope erosion near culvert; upgrading existing guardrails and end treatments; installing milled rumble strips, pavement markings and signage; and adjusting utility manholes. The project is anticipated to begin construction in late 2024/early 2025.
Normal work hours are between the hours of 7:00am to 6:00pm, Monday through Friday, and 9:00am to 6:00pm on Saturdays. The project is proposing to obtain a Community Noise Variance for work hours outside of normal hours (i.e., night and weekend hours). This would allow the project to potentially work during the hours of 6:00pm to 7:00am Monday through Friday, from 6:00pm Friday to 9:00am on Saturday, and from 6:00pm on Saturday to 7:00am on Monday, and anytime on holidays. However, nighttime construction will be avoided during the seabird fledging period, September 15 to December 15, to avoid or minimize effects to Hawaiian seabirds. HDOT and its Contractor will make every effort to minimize the times, duration, and intensity of equipment use to minimize noise impacts to the community.
This notice is being provided in accordance with the Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR 11-46-8). HDOT field personnel and the Contractor will monitor all equipment and construction activities on the active job site to ensure the use of appropriate noise abatement measures.
Please direct any comments or concerns regarding potential noise emissions to the HDOT Project Manager, Mr. Robert Sun, at (808) 692-7578 or by email at robert.sun@hawaii.gov within 30 days after the advertising date of this notice.
