Under Communications, the agenda notes a request from the Director of the Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation to amend Condition No. 1 and grant a time extension until April 30, 2027, for an SMA Use Permit to rehabilitate Honolua Bridge on Honoapiʻilani Highway (Route 30). The permit also covers construction of a temporary detour road and temporary bridge so traffic can continue during the rehabilitation.The Maui Planning Commission’s only action is to acknowledge receipt of this communication, indicating the project is already permitted and likely has planning and possibly contracting underway. While no contractor is named here, the extension signals that design, environmental compliance, or construction sequencing is ongoing and the schedule has been pushed. Vendors focused on bridge rehab, traffic management, and temporary structures can use this as context for potential subconsulting or subcontracting with HDOT or any existing prime, and to anticipate future maintenance or follow-on work near Mile Marker 32.

This appears to be an existing HDOT project with an extended timeframe; procurement for main work may already be in place, but schedule change may create ancillary needs.
