KOLOA – A public information meeting regarding the proposed construction of a roadway segment that would connect the two Koloa bypass roads is scheduled for Thursday, Kauai County announced today.

The meeting will be held at the Koloa Neighborhood Center starting at 6 pm.

Referred to as the "northerly leg of the western bypass road," the new roadway will run between Maluhia and Koloa roads and link Ala Kinoiki and Ala Kalanikaumaka bypass roads.

The connector road is said to be a key component in the county's plan to improve traffic flow and circulation in the south shore.
