WAILUA — The county Department of Public Works announced that temporary repairs are underway to Yasutake Bridge, on Kamalu Road north of Wailua Homesteads Park.
The bridge is estimated to reopen in the next two months.
The scope of work includes the installation of a 60-foot Acrow bridge, signs, speed-calming devices and additional paving work. Goodfellow Brothers is contracted for this project.
The county closed the bridge on June 10, based on safety concerns with critical scour conditions that affected the foundation of the bridge. On June 14, county consultant Consor Engineers conducted dive inspections of Yasutake Bridge and discovered further scouring of the bridge. Following the assessment, the engineering consultant recommended that the bridge remain closed until the temporary bridge is in place.
During the closure, motorists may use a detour via Olohena, Pu‘u‘opae and ‘Opaeka‘a roads.
Anyone with questions or concerns may contact Keith Perry at 808-241-4950 or klperry@kauai.gov.
