Construction will slow traffic along 'Aiea Access Road

Advertiser Staff

Construction projects are expected to slow commutes throughout the island. The road work is listed below so if you're traveling through these areas, allow more time to get to your destination.

'Aiea Access Road repairs set

  • The right south-bound lane along 'Aiea Access Road from Moanalua Road to Kamehameha Highway will be closed through tomorrow from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. for barrier and electrical work.

    Possible shoulder lane closures may occur along the southeast on-ramp (eastbound) from Kamehameha Highway to the Moanalua Freeway.

    A right single lane closure is scheduled along the Moanalua Freeway (eastbound) between McGrew Point and the loop ramp through tomorrow between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. as part of the roadwork.

    In addition, lane closures may occur along Kamehameha Highway in both directions between McGrew Point and Salt Lake Boulevard through tomorrow between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. for guardrail work.

    One lane of H-1 Freeway to close for up to two weeks

    One lane of the H-1 Freeway may be closed for up to two weeks to repair a damaged drainage culvert under the highway.

    The right west-bound lane of the freeway near Ka'amilo Overpass in 'Aiea is shut down. Construction crews are filling a void around the 11-foot drainage pipe next to Olopana Street.

    State crews found the void larger than expected and said it may take several weeks to complete the repairs, Transportation Department spokesman Scott Ishikawa said.

    Engineers were afraid that continued traffic over the drain pipe area might result in further damage to the highway. Repair work will begin immediately, Ishikawa said.
