The Hawai‘i Department of Transportation (HDOT) has announced potential traffic delays as modular homes are transported to aid wildfire survivors in Lahaina. The delivery of these homes is scheduled to take place on specific nights, beginning Friday, February 7 and Saturday, February 8, as well as from February 12 through 14. Each transport will commence at 9:30 p.m.

The transportation process involves a caravan of trucks moving the modular homes from a staging area near the Kahului small boat ramp along Kahului Beach Road (Route 3400) to their destination in Lahaina. The route includes several key roads: starting south on Kahului Beach Road, then east on Kaʻahumanu Avenue (Route 32), right onto Hāna Highway (Route 36), right onto Elmer F. Carvalho Way (Route 3800), and west linking with Kūihelani Highway (Route 380). At the intersection with Honoapiʻilani Highway (Route 30), the trucks will turn left and head west to Lahaina. In Lahaina, they will continue on Honoapiʻilani Highway before making a right turn onto Leialiʻi Parkway near the Lahaina Civic Center to reach the site located mauka of the highway.

Additionally, on Monday, February 10 and Wednesday, February 12, there will be daytime hauling operations from Kahului Harbor to the temporary staging site near the Kahului small boat ramp between 7:30 a.m. and noon. During this time, trucks will travel west on Kaʻahumanu Avenue from the harbor before turning right onto Kahului Beach Road adjacent to the small boat ramp.
