Hawaii DOT expects Kaumalapau Harbor on Lanai to resume operations Sunday following hurricane damage, with normal Young Brothers barge service set to restart Wednesday. Remaining land-side repairs, including sinkhole work, are expected to take about seven additional days.
- Kaumalapau Harbor has been closed since Hurricane Lowell caused structural damage to the pier and seawall.
- The harbor is expected to reopen Sunday, with underwater sonar sweeps and debris removal underway to clear hazards.
- Young Brothers interisland barge service is scheduled to return to its normal schedule, arriving Wednesday and departing Thursday.
- Land-side repairs — including sinkhole filling and pier apron resurfacing — will continue after reopening and are estimated to take seven days.
- Crews are stabilizing the seawall using rock-filled Kyowa bags to reduce wave energy during the repair period.
