Anyone who would like to comment on the new Mamalahoa Bypass may visit the Department of Public Works’ Mamalahoa Bypass page (http://co.hawaii.hi.us/info/mamalahoa/Mamalahoa%20Bypass%20Page.pdf). 

Scroll down to the bottom of the second page and click the link to the Public Comment Forum. 

The bypass opened March 10 – for three hours weekday afternoons, and one southbound lane only. The route is to be evaluated after 60 days, or about the middle of May. 

So get you comments in ahead of the evaluation. It doesn’t always seem like it, but they really do read your comments!
