The city’s Department of Design and Construction announced a new road rehabilitation project beginning in Mililani Mauka. This is in addition to an ongoing rehabilitation project that began in October 2024.
Construction is set to begin April 28 and will last about 16 months. Project work hours will be from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday except holidays.
The project includes resurfacing and reconstruction of asphalt pavement on streets (see map), adjustments to manholes, tree removal, root pruning and new pavement striping and markers. The work will improve driving conditions, roadway visibility and safety.

DDC adds, “New asphalt is hot, black and tacky; walking or driving through uncured pavement can result in serious burns or tracking marks on driveways/sidewalks. Therefore, the contractor may delay access through hazardous construction areas during work hours for the safety and protection of the public.”
Crews will also reconstruct sections of existing concrete sidewalks, curbs and gutters to enhance access for pedestrians.
To minimize public impact and keep traffic moving as much as possible, the contractor will perform work in smaller phases. According to DDC, the contractor is responsible for coordinating and managing local area traffic for businesses and residents, including deliveries, trash collection and emergency services.
“No Parking” signs will be placed along roadways to notify the public of upcoming construction one week before work begins. Those who park on the street are asked to take note of the dates and times of construction since vehicles parked on the streets at that time will be towed at the owner’s expense.
Residents should anticipate detours and lane and road closures and allow extra travel time.
