The county Department of Public Works Traffic Division will be conducting streetlight repairs on five streets in the Kaumana area of Hilo.
Starting this week, the Traffic Division will be removing streetlight poles that need to be replaced and installing new poles. The streets where work will occur are: five poles on Kilikina Street (from Waialeale Place to the dead end); three on Waialeale Place; two on Kaeokulani Place; and one pole each on Hokulea Place and Lei Hinahina Place.
Residents are advised that during this work the area will not have streetlights. Streetlights requiring the construction of new foundations may be non-functional for the entire duration of the project.
Work will be conducted weekdays between 8 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., between now and Aug. 3, weather permitting.
Traffic will not be impacted while the street light repairs are conducted, DPW said.
