While no start date has been selected, DOT is advising motorists to prepare for the detour and traffic impacts.
The $4.8 million project will put a roundabout at the intersection of Highway 130 and Pahoa Village Road.
A 24-hour detour will be in place onto Pahoa Village Road and Kahakai Boulevard sometime in mid- to late October, according to DOT.
A temporary traffic signal will be in place at the intersection of those two roads.
A left turn pocket will be created for Pahoa Marketplace.
Work will finish in summer 2015.
A community meeting regarding the project is anticipated to occur in October.
