Maui County has announced Front Street will reopen to vehicular traffic on August 1, nearly three years after the 2023 wildfires destroyed the historic commercial corridor. Several businesses, including the rebuilt Kimo’s restaurant and ʻUlu o Lele Marketplace, are returning as part of the ongoing recovery.
- Front Street reopens to vehicular traffic August 1, with sections from Pāpalaua to Shaw and Dickenson to Prison streets accessible with no regularly restricted hours.
- The stretch from Pāpalaua to Dickenson streets remains closed, and Dickenson to Shaw streets will have restricted access due to Lahaina Small Boat Harbor operations.
- Market Street, Papelekane Street, and Mokuhinia Place remain closed while state dredging of Lahaina Harbor and related work continues.
- Over a dozen businesses are returning to Front Street, signaling a revival of commercial activity in central Lahaina.
- Temporary road closures may still occur as reconstruction work continues throughout the area.
