Users of the Hilo Transfer Station will be directed to take an alternate route Friday to dispose of their trash at the solid waste chutes.
The Department of Public Works will be repaving the access road to the waste chutes. Weather permitting, the work will be completed in one day.
The road can hold about 60 vehicles at a time, according to Gene Quiamas, acting deputy division chief of the Department of Environmental Management Solid Waste Division.
The bumpy road, which starts behind the Reuse Station, was implemented more than a year ago to help keep traffic off the main road to the dump.
The repaving is necessary to improve the condition of the road and to reduce wear on vehicles.
The transfer station will be open for normal operations, but delays are possible.
Traffic control personnel will be directing users.
