Advertiser Staff
A number of lane closures are scheduled this week on Ala Moana Boulevard as part of improvements associated with the construction of The Grand Waikikian Tower, adjacent to the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort & Spa, the state Department of Transportation said in a news release.
The road improvements will include pavement reconstruction and resurfacing, the addition of a fourth east-bound lane from Hobron Lane to Kalia Road, the lengthening of left-turn stacking lanes onto Hobron Lane and Kalia Road, center median landscaping enhancements designed in consultation with the Outdoor Circle, replacement of highway lighting with decorative lighting similar to Kalakaua Avenue, and the reconstruction of portions of pedestrian sidewalks and driveways.
The lane closures are:
Daytime (7 a.m. to 4 p.m.)
Nighttime (5 p.m. to 1 a.m.)
These road improvements will be paid for by the Hilton Hotels Corp. as part of a larger development surrounding the construction of The Grand Waikikian Tower, the DOT said.
Hilton has also established a construction information hot line at 948-7600 and an informational Web site at www.villagerejuvenation.com. Project completion is anticipated in December.
Motorists are advised to use caution while driving through the work area and to allow for extra travel time. Roadwork is weather-permitting.
