Vineyard detour
Work in Wailuku redirects traffic
West Vineyard Street between Market and Church streets will be closed starting Dec. 14 through January as construction work continues in the area, the county announced Wednesday.
The closure will reduce the amount of time needed to complete this portion of Vineyard Street as part of the Wailuku Town Improvements Project, the county said.
Crews from MIRA Image Construction will be improving roads, sidewalks, water and sewer lines and drainage systems in the area, as well as putting existing overhead electrical and communication lines underground.
Drivers traveling on West Vineyard Street from High Street will be detoured around the construction area back to West Vineyard via Church, Main and Market streets.
Portions of the municipal parking lot will remain open during construction. However, the only entrance will be from Market Street, and the only exits will be at Market and Church streets. The entrance and exit to the parking lot from West Vineyard will be closed permanently.
Detour signs will be posted. Pedestrian access to businesses and apartments along Vineyard Street will be provided, and passenger drop-off and loading areas will be designated along Market Street for those residences.
Special duty officers will also be on site to direct traffic.
For questions or concerns, contact MIRA Image Construction Superintendent David Perez at (808) 306-5206.
