Future location of key segment of North-South Collector Road

1/28/25 #kihei

Currently we are seeing countless truckloads of decades long accumulation of sediment being hauled from the Kūlanihāko‘i Stream gulch onto Kenolio via the North-South Collector Road (NSCR) corridor. Contractor PB Sullivan is continuing this long needed project moving mauka from South Kihei Road.

Someday this scene will be replaced by all modes of transit coming down from bridge over the Kulanihako’i stream filling a key missing segment of the NSCR

It is expected this effort will help mitigate stormwater flooding at Kaonoulu & South Kihei Road which we have seen for decades, but this action must continue upcountry to really address the issue. But for now Sullivan ironically has to add water.
