While we have been watching and reporting on this HDOT project mostly questioning why no sidewalks were included, (SEE https://gokihei.org/development-project-review/two-kca-directors-testify-at-planning-commission ),

this week (4/20/15) the intersection will be closed for several evenings. The contractor Goodfellow Brothers has been doing the work in a most cooperative basis reducing the motor vehicle impacts, but now they have reached a point where traffic must be diverted. It is our understanding while highway traffic will be able to slowly pass through, drivers might consider completely avoiding the intersection each evening.
