Now that South Kihei Road is open in the area of Kūlanihāko‘i Stream and much of the debris cleared away, contractor PB Sullivan is back at their project within the gulch to remove much of the silt and restore the width and depth of decades ago. Much of their prior pre-storm work, which protected some nearby residences from flooding, vanished in the storm, but they are back at work from South Kihei Road to the Highway.
Work continues just makai of the highway.
Dump truck enters the gulch from Kenolio from North side
Heading West, the empty truck will be one of the countless number hauling out to one of three locations
Some day this will be the North South Collector Road, with a bridge spanning the stream, hopefully elevated enough so stormwater will flow beneath it. Over a decade ago KCA advocated for that at South Kihei Road, but County Public Works rejected that concept
Looking down into the gulch from the Highway
North side of the gulch at the highway overpass
Heavy equipment at the South side of the stream gulch just makai of the Highway

Still a lot more work to complete
