LIHUE, Hawaii (KHON2) – The DLNR Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation has closed the boat ramp loading dock at Kukui`ula Small Boat Harbor on Kauai, pending repairs.
The support beams for the structure became unstable due to delamination. As a result, the pier is sagging.
The replacement project is expected to start in mid-October and be completed by mid-November.
The facility’s launch ramp remains open, but will close temporarily when construction begins.
Construction will involve the demolition of the old boat ramp loading dock and installation of the replacement.
