The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT) reported 25 separate projects with lane closures along the H-1 Freeway alone during the week of May 10 to May 16. Additional work is also underway on the H-2 and Moanalua freeways.
“Probably one of our most impactful projects right now would be the H-1 Pearl City and Waimalu viaduct improvements,” said HDOT Communications Manager Shelly Kunishige. “That closes up to four lanes Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. and is likely to continue through March 2027.”
Other ongoing projects include:
- Airport Viaduct Improvements — Closing westbound lanes Tuesday through Monday, from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m., expected to finish by August 2025.
- Salt Lake Rehabilitation Project — Affects eastbound H-1 traffic on weekends and evenings, with completion anticipated in June.
- Moanalua Freeway Repaving — Between the H-3 and Fort Shafter overpass, targeted for completion by year’s end.
