Rockfall mitigation work along Waipiʻo Valley Road begins today.

The primary objective of this project is to ensure the safety of residents and visitors by addressing potential rockfall hazards in the area.

To ensure safety, the road will be temporarily closed and inaccessible to all traffic from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday thru Friday.

The initial phase of the rockfall mitigation effort will focus on the section of Waipiʻo Valley Road stretching from the entrance of Waipiʻo Valley Lookout to a distance of 750 feet down the slope.

The anticipated timeline for completion of this phase is approximately six weeks,
