The state Department of Transportation is advising Oahu motorists that the eastbound Makakilo, Kapolei, Kalaeloa off-ramp on H-1 Freeway will be closed beginning at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow.

The closure will continue until the end of 2010, when work on Phase I of the new Kapolei Interchange Complex nears completion.
During the closure, motorists wishing to access the Kapolei area will be directed to use the previous Campbell Industrial Park, Barbers Point Harbor off-ramp (Exit 1A) and approach via Kapolei Parkway/Kamokila Boulevard.
Phase I of the project consists of a new eastbound H-1 Freeway on- and off-ramp for the new Kapolei Interchange at Kamokila Boulevard and Wakea Street, as well as a new westbound freeway off-ramp near the Wet ‘n’ Wild Hawaii water park. The new westbound on-ramp at the Makakilo Interchange will also provide motorists with access to H-1 Freeway from Makakilo Drive.
Electronic message boards have been placed around the construction area. Motorists are advised to use caution while driving through the work areas and to allow for extra travel time. Roadwork is weather-permitting.
