KOLOA — A blessing was held last week to mark the start of construction that will expand Lopaka Paipa Boulevard and connect the private roadway to Ala Kalanikaumaka in Koloa.
County of Kauai officials, representatives from The Club at Kukuiula, Kukuiula Development Company and contractor Cushnie Construction Company were present.
Lopaka Paipa Boulevard is the primary street that serves the Koloa Estates subdivision, and terminates at Poipu Road. Koloa Estates subdivision was approved by the county Planning Commission in 1999, a press release said.
A condition of the subdivision required a connection of a major street between Poipu Road (Lopaka Paipa Boulevard) and a future western bypass road (today known as Ala Kalanikaumaka).
Lopaka Paipa Boulevard serves as a key component in the traffic master plan encompassing the Koloa-Poipu region. The extension and completion of the roadway is necessary since construction of housing units within the subdivision as well as the surrounding areas has been completed.
