Maui County is still working to repair numerous sinkholes and road collapses from March storms, with costs and timelines uncertain as officials seek federal emergency funding. Some repairs, including a 150-foot section of South Kīhei Road, are expected to take several months.
- A 150-foot collapsed section of South Kīhei Road near Kama’ole Beach Park II has shut down two lanes with repairs expected to finish in fall.
- Multiple sinkholes throughout the county remain blocked by cones, forcing traffic diversions two months after the March storms.
- The county lacks final cost estimates for most repairs due to complexity and pending federal emergency funding applications.
- Work has begun on the large sinkhole along Kamehameha Avenue in Kahului, with the right-hand turn lane recently reopened.
- Public Works Director says the prolonged multi-week storm event was unprecedented in his seven years with the department.
