Notice from:the Office of Council Member Heather Kimball -
"UPDATE ON KOLEKOLE BRIDGE-
I was just at the bridge site and wanted to let you know the latest information. Currently the bridge traffic is being controlled and allowing only one lane of traffic, and no more than 10 cars on the bridge at a time. Vehicles weighing over 4 tons are being stopped at the 12 mile marker on the Hilo side before Honomu. Coming from Honokaa larger vehicles are being stopped at Chin Chuck Rd. Please drive with caution in these areas.

Please drive with caution in these areas.
There is no alternate route as Old Mamalahoa Kolekole Bridge has been closed for some time due to damage from Hurricane Lane.
DO NOT follow detour sign in Pepeʻekeo because that is just for local traffic for Kaupakuea Homestead Road due to the Makea Bridge closure. This is not a detour for Kolekole.
Bridge repairs are already underway and expected to take 3-4 four months depending on availability of materials.
