Drivers should watch for lane changes and traffic delays on Waianuenue Avenue as crews begin probing for utility lines.

The county’s Department of Public Works will be probing for utility lines underground between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays.

Probes are an accurate way to track the path of nonconductive utility lines. Workers will be pinpointing the location and depth of these utilities.

Roadwork began Thursday on Rainbow Drive near Hilo Medical Center and will progress down to Ka‘iulani Street towards the Bayfront area.

If there are any questions or concerns, call public works at (808) 961-8499.
