TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF KOLEKOLE GULCH PARK FOR EMERGENCY BRIDGE REPAIRS
TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF KOLEKOLE GULCH PARK
FOR EMERGENCY BRIDGE REPAIRS
Due to safety concerns, while the State of Hawai‘i Department of Transportation (DOT) conducts
emergency repairs to Kolekole Stream Bridge, Kolekole Beach Park will be temporarily closed from
November 8 to December 31. The emergency repairs will consist of an Acrow truss system to be
spanned over the bridge with lower supports below to upgrade the bridge capacity from a 12-ton to a 40-
ton load rating capacity.
DOT contractors will be working from above and below the bridge with heavy equipment (man-lifts,
boom trucks, bucket trucks, forklifts, etc.), and although safety measures will be in place while the
repairs are conducted, the temporary park closure will assist the DOT in expediting their work and help
keep the public safe during these repairs.
