Kolekole Stream Bridge, Kolekole Beach Park will be temporarily closed from November 8 to December 31 while the Department of Transportation (DOT) conducts emergency repairs

The emergency repairs will consist of an Acrow truss system to be spanned over the bridge with lower supports below to upgrade the bridge capacity from a 12-ton to a 40- ton load rating capacity.

DOT contractors will be working from above and below the bridge with heavy equipment (man-lifts, boom trucks, bucket trucks, forklifts, etc.), and although safety measures will be in place while the repairs are conducted, the temporary park closure will assist the DOT in expediting their work and help keep the public safe during these repairs.
