SECTION 3. The director of transportation shall determine the appropriate time and area on Farrington Highway in Maili and Nanakuli to operate the contra-flow lane.

SECTION 4. The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of transportation for the purposes of this Act.

SECTION 5. The appropriation made for the capital improvement project authorized by this Act shall not lapse at the end of the fiscal biennium for which the appropriation is made; provided that all moneys from the appropriation unencumbered as of June 30, 2008, shall lapse as of that date.
