Our Friend of the Path, Richard Sugiyama, provides historical perspectives on the construction of Ke Ala Hele Makalae over the years.
From the southern (Lihue) side of Wailua River, the concrete is being poured where the highway "bends" to line up with the bridge.
Braces have been added to each side of the narrow bridge so that wider, pre-stressed concrete planks will be supported. The original planks had to be changed to accommodate 2 vehicular lanes and the path.
