WAILUA — The state Department of Transportation will be modifying Saturday contraflow hours on Kuhio Highway in the Wailua-Kapa‘a corridor beginning this Saturday, July 3.
The new schedule will result in reduced hours, shifting to 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. The old schedule was from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
In light of recent northbound traffic congestion, the DOT placed counters on Kuhio Highway the past two Saturdays to confirm the timing of the southbound traffic peak easing and the northbound traffic peak intensifying. The change in schedule addresses the northbound traffic issue that exists during the latter part of the contraflow timetable.
The Kuhio Highway weekday contraflow schedule remains unchanged: 4:15 to 11 a.m.
Traffic counts and efficiencies will continue to be monitored, and any future modifications to the contraflow schedule will be announced in advance.
