PUBLIC INFORMATIONAL MEETING FOR
KEAAU -PAHOA ROUNDABOUT POSTPONED
HILO The state Department of Transportation (DOT) would like to update the
community that the Public Informational Meeting regarding intersection improvements at
Keaau -Pahoa Road and Old Government Road in Pahoa, Hawaii, previously scheduled
on Wednesday, December 19, will be postponed and rescheduled in January 2013. A
date and location will be announced in a future DOT news release.
The intent of the project is to improve safety and traffic flow by converting the existing T-
intersection into a single -lane modern roundabout. The project also includes slope
reinforcement, landscaping improvements, electrical conduits and street lights, drainage
improvements along with ADA compliant curb ramps and sidewalks, fencing, guardrails,
signage and striping. Construction work time is estimated at approximately 12 months.
The state DOT apologizes for the inconvenience and will notify the community of further
information.
