HONOLULU - The Kaiwi State Scenic Shoreline (state park) and Makapu?u Lighthouse Trail will be closed on Tuesday, June 25 from 6:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. for removal of de-energized power lines.

The U.S. Coast Guard, which operates the Makapu‘u Lighthouse, asked Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) to remove unused power lines along the lighthouse trail for fire mitigation.

The DLNR Division of State Parks is closing both the upper Makapu‘u Overlook parking lot, as well as the main parking lot at the lighthouse trailhead for work to be conducted safely. HECO is putting up electronic message boards to alert people to the one-day closure.
