(BIVN) – Hawai‘i County officials announced on Friday that a paving project at Onekahakaha Beach Park will begin next week, and will require two days of partial closures and one day of a full closure. 

The work will include the repaving of the upper parking lot, as well as the main entry road to the park. Officials are working to address concerns raised at a recent community meeting in Keaukaha.

The Hawaiʻi County Department of Public Works is performing the paving work in collaboration with the Department of Parks and Recreation.
