24-Hour Lane Closure Dates

All Day: 24-hour closure of both mauka-bound lanes from 6 a.m. on Jan. 2 through Jan. 12.

No entrances to Ala Moana Center will be affected by these lane closures. However, during the hours when both mauka-bound lanes are closed, Kona Street motorists will be redirected to use Kona Iki Street and Mahukona Street to access Kapiolani Boulevard. Drivers should use alternate routes onto Ala Moana Boulevard, Piikoi Street and Atkinson Drive when exiting Ala Moana Center.

The street closures are required as part of the on-going construction for the Ala Moana Center expansion as steel beams will be erected for the construction of Hawaii's first full-line Nordstrom, Inc. department store, which will open in Spring 2008.

Closure dates are subject to change.
