March 2013
Much work has been done since mid-2012 and most noticeable are construction at Wailua Bay and along "Baby Beach" (a.k.a. Waipouli Beach Park or "Fuji" Beach). I wasn't able to photograph the Wailua Bay portion since there is no shoulder along Kuhio Highway to safely take photos.


Extensive path improvement is being made on Wana and Niulani Roads from Kuhio Highway to Keaka Road. This photo is at the entrance to Kapaa Shore Resort Condos (near Kauai Cycle) where the two-way road becomes one-way with the path.


The gravel base was being installed at the corner where Keaka Road becomes Moanakai Road. The view is looking toward Kuhio Highway.


Further along Moanakai, this is the view looking south at that corner.


Looking north from the same point, Moanakai has its asphalt surface removed in preparation for the changes to one-way with the path.


At the current south end of the existing path in Lihi Park, the concrete continuation has been completed to Moanakai Road.

Kawaihau Road spur


There are now signs posted on the path indicating the crossing at Kuhio Highway and Kawaihau Road. Looking north is the first sign.


And looking south is the second sign.


The crosswalk has been painted and signals installed. The push-to-walk system doesn't seem to be operational at this time.


The concrete sidewalk/path is completed up the hill to the old dirt trail.


But the portion beyond that has stopped. Future work involves continuing through the bushes to the top of the hill and connecting to the sidewalk fronting Mahelona Medical Center.
