Officials have closed Kukui Street from Queen Emma Street to Pali Highway because of an accident involving a contractor’s paving equipment.
 
That section of Kukui Street is expected to be closed through Wednesday afternoon, police said. The closure will also affect southbound traffic on Queen Emma Street.
 
The road was closed after a piece of heavy equipment fell over Tuesday afternoon. 

Motorists are advised to use a different route to access Kailua-bound Pali Highway, and to listen to the radio for updates from the City’s Traffic Management Center.
