Maui’s Pi’ilani Highway to Be Repaired
A $1.1 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency has been received by Hawaii to repair the quake damaged Pi’ilana Highway, along the east coast of Maui, the so called “back way to Hana.”
The highway was damaged on Oct. 15, 2006 when a strong earthquake rocked the islands. The quake damaged retaining walls along three sections of the highway eventually leading to it’s closure because of safety concerns.
Maui County officials hope to complete the work by October.
