Kilauea Roundabout to be Completed by April 2026

Construction is under way relating to the installation of a new roundabout at the intersection of Kuhio Highway and Kolo Road near Kilauea town.  The Garden Island Newspaper recently reported that the project is estimated to cost a total of $12 million, and is due to be fully complete by April of 2026.  

Ed Sniffen, Director at HDOT, said:

“The roundabout is designed to reduce crashes that result in injuries and fatalities by slowing vehicles through the intersection, reducing the number of traffic conflict points, and providing safer crossing for bicyclists and pedestrians... The project will have a diameter of approximately 130 feet, with additional space allocated for concrete sidewalks encircling the roundabout... This design aims to facilitate safer pedestrian crossings.”
