Laupahoehoe Small Boat Harbor
Access Driveway Closure
The County of Hawaii Department of Parks and Recreation announces the closure of
the access driveway to the Laupahoehoe Small Boat Harbor effective immediately.
The closure is due to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Laupahoehoe Harbor
Breakwater Repairs project. The access driveway shall remain closed for the duration
of the project, which is currently projected to be completed in February 2016. However,
the project's successful completion is subject to ocean conditions and may take longer
to complete.
The project's contractor, American Marine Corporation, will restrict vehicular access to
the harbor and construction site via physical barricades. When construction operations
permit, limited pedestrian access will be allowed to portions of the harbor outside of the
active construction area.
The public is reminded to observe and follow all posted signs and that use of the boat
ramp for ocean access and swimming is prohibited.
For more information, please contact Jason Armstrong, Public Information Officer, at
961-8311 or iarmstronq(a�hawaiicounty.gov.
