About this file
This is a Community Noise Permit Application submitted by the Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) to the State of Hawaii Department of Health for a seismic retrofit project involving three bridges on Maui. The project encompasses the rehabilitation and seismic retrofit of the Waiale Gulch, Alae (Naalae Gulch), and Polehu Gulch (Pohakuokala) Bridges located along Haleakala Highway (Route 377) in Kula. Construction work includes removal of pier debris, carbon fiber wrapping of piers, excavation around footings, removal and replacement of backfill with concrete and soil nails, replacement of creep blocks at bents, and pier footing upgrades. The project timeline extends from November 1, 2026, to October 31, 2028, with full roadway closures occurring at each bridge for 30 consecutive days, one bridge at a time. Construction will occur during both daytime and nighttime hours during full bridge closures to minimize project duration, costs, and traffic impacts. A designated job-site representative will monitor noise compliance and field complaints, with the HDOT Resident Engineer also available for noise-related issues.
The noise permit application is subject to an annual fee of $50 under the category "All other construction activities" as defined by Hawaii Administrative Rules, Title 11, Chapter 46. All fees are non-refundable, with an additional $25 service charge applicable for any dishonored checks. The application includes detailed attachments providing project location maps, project area maps for each of the three bridge sites, site photographs, and a comprehensive equipment list identifying 20 operational noise-generating devices with their specifications and measured noise levels at 50 feet, ranging from 74 to 90 decibels (dBA, slow). The application was signed on February 5, 2026, by Henry Kennedy, Engineering Program Manager at HDOT, and should be submitted to the Indoor and Radiological Health Branch at 99-945 Halawa Valley Street, Aiea, HI 96701.

Part III. Description of Activity The State of Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) is proposing to rehabilitate and seismically retrofit three (3) Maui Bridges (Waiale, Alae, and Pohakuokala) in Kula. The individual project locations are shown in Attachment 1.
The anticipated construction work for the seismic retrofit of all three (3) bridges consists of:
Removal of debris from the piers Wrapping the piers with carbon fiber to the top of footing. Excavation is likely around the footings to expose the piers to the top of the footings.
Removal of a portion of the backfill from behind the abutments, filling the area with concrete and installation of soil nails.
Replacement of the creep blocks at the bents Pier footing upgrades
Full roadway closures at each bridge would be necessary for a certain period of time. By closing each bridge for a short timeframe, the project would minimize impacts by avoiding the need for access roads to the bottom of the gulch or erecting temporary bridges during construction.
To reduce project duration, construction costs, and traffic impacts, construction will take place during both daytime and nighttime hours when full bridge closure occurs. Bridge closures would occur for 30 consecutive days for each bridge, one bridge at a time. No nightwork will occur when there is no full bridge closure. A job-site representative will be designated to whom immediate complaints can be forwarded for prompt response. That representative will have the general responsibility of monitoring quiet work procedures. Contact information for that job-site representative will be provided after Contractor selection. In addition, HDOT’s Resident Engineer will also be available to handle any noise complaints that may arise during construction. HDOT will provide the names and contact information of its Resident Engineer to the Department of Health and to the public when this information becomes available prior to the start of construction.
Part IV. Location of Activity The proposed construction activity will be located at three discrete locations along Haleakala Highway (Route 377) in Kula on the island of Maui. All bridges are located within the Zipcode 96790. Construction work and staging of equipment and materials would take place within the HDOT operational right-of-way. The project locations are shown in Attachment 1 through 3.
Alae Bridge (Bridge Number 009003770500058) carries Kekaulike Avenue (State Route
377) over Naalae Gulch (Zipcode 96790). It is located approximately 0.21 miles north of Waipoli Road at the approximate coordinates of 156.3261058°W 20.7422215°N.
Waiale Gulch Bridge (Bridge Number 009003770500540) carries Haleakala Highway (State Route 377) over Waiale Gulch. It is located approximately 1.44 miles north of Lower Kimo Drive at the approximate coordinates of 156.3078070°W 20.7730253°N.
Pohakuokala Bridge (Bridge Number 009003770500349) carries Haleakala Highway (State Route 377) over Pulehu Gulch. It is located approximately 0.08 miles north Kulalani Drive at the approximate coordinates of 156.3080541°W 20.7976234°N.
Part V. Equipment to be Utilized See Attachment 4 for Equipment List.
Part VI. Estimated duration of construction activity November 1, 2026 to October 31, 2028
