Motorists on Maui are advised of potential traffic delays beginning Monday, Nov. 25, as crews check pavement quality on 13 state highways on the island, according to the state Department of Transportation.
Crews will take cylindrical samples of asphalt to check thickness, density and overall quality of the pavement. Samples will be taken from different areas on the highways. The valuable data will allow HDOT to be proactive in repairing roads before they show signs of distress.
During the work, one lane may be closed for up to 45 minutes. The work will occur between 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday, Nov. 25 to Wednesday, Nov. 27 along with Monday, Dec. 2 through Thursday, Dec. 5.
