Main break closes Makaha lanes

A water main break last night forced the closure of two Makaha-bound lanes of Farrington Highway in front of Wai'anae High School.

Two Honolulu-bound lanes and a center turn lane of the highway were being used to contra-flow traffic.

Repair work on the 8-inch water main that ruptured at 10:30 last night was expected to continue through the afternoon. The main is one of the new ones installed as part of the Board of Water Supply's on-going work in the area to replace a 24-inch line.
