Hawaii Department of Transportation officials announced new lane closures will be implemented to continue the 1,000-foot Laniakea Realignment project.
The project addresses pedestrian safety, shoreline erosion, congestion and roadway reliability along Kamehameha Highway.

County officials advise drivers to be wary of single-lane closures for the installation of signage and reconfiguration of the unimproved City and County of Honolulu lot.
The closures will be in effect Monday through Friday from Dec. 9 to Dec. 13 and Dec. 16 to Dec. 20.
Crews will work from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. According to the City, work cannot be conducted at night due to seabird fallout season and the proximity to a green sea turtle nesting site.
Visitors who want to stop by Laniakea Beach can still do so, but parking will only be accessible through a right-turn from northbound Kamehameha Highway.
