COUNTY OF HAWAIʻI
MAYOR C. KIMO ALAMEDA, PH.D.
New Roundabout Installed at Kawili/Manono
Intersection
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 13, 2026
A new roundabout has been installed at the intersection of Kawili and Manono streets
to improve traffic flow and safety.
The roundabout replaces the previous T-intersection and was installed Friday as part
of the ongoing Kawili Street paving project.
“We’ve heard how frustrating the long delays at this intersection have been for
drivers, especially while trying to turn left toward the community college,” said Mayor
Kimo Alameda. “With this redesign, we can keep traffic moving and reduce wait
times.”
When approaching a roundabout, motorists are advised to slow down, look around,
and be ready to yield. For additional guidance,
