Pauahi Street in Hilo from Aupuni Street to Kamehameha Avenue will be closed Monday, July 22, to Thursday, July 26.

The road will be closed between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

This closure is necessary to safely facilitate the removal of the existing bridge deck using a heavy equipment crane, according to a Hawaii County press release.

During the closure, motorists are advised to use Manono Street or Ponahawai Street as alternative routes to access the back side of Pauahi Street.
