Bypass RoadThe main advantage of the Bypass Road is that it allows residents of the Paauilo-Mauka area to avoid utilizing "Sand Gulch" road, the one lane, dangerous road through Kalopa Gulch. The Sand Gulch road was damaged in the 2006 Earthquake and residents were forced for months to do a long commute through Pa'auilo to get to Honokaa and other points. 
Exciting News from Councilman Dominic Yagong, dated 3Feb10 Great news!!! The long awaited Kalōpā Sand Gulch By-pass Road project went out to bid February 2, 2010. This is a culmination of many hours of hard work and partnership between community and government. The pre-bid conference for prospective bidders is on February 9, 2010. The intent to bid on the project from contractors is due on February 12, 2010. The deadline for prospective contractors to submit their seal bids for the project is February 25, 2010. The project cost is estimated at $2.2 million. I will keep everyone abreast of the status of the bid and will convene a community meeting once a contractor is selected and we have definite time lines for construction. As you recall, I promised a community blessing and ground breaking for the project. I look forward to providing dates for this long awaited ceremony that will allow us to celebrate the construction of this much needed safety project. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Department of Public Works for their support and countless working hours that helped make this project a reality. More importantly I want to thank the Pa’auilo Mauka Kalōpā Community Association for their years of determination and perseverance on seeing this project through. Warmest Aloha, Councilmember Dominc Yagong |
