H-1 freeway shut down through Kalihi begins Wednesday
Traffic backed up in the ewa direction beyond the School Street offramp Saturday evening as work on the H-1 freeway rehabilitation project closed the right lane of the freeway through Kalihi.
Starting Wednesday night, state transportation officials plan to have full and partial lane closures of east-bound and west-bound traffic on the H-1 freeway in Kalihi from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.
The closures for pavement resurfacing will continue through Nov. 26.
Full closures of east-bound traffic will take place between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. from Wednesday through Friday and Sunday through Nov. 19.
The east-bound traffic will be shut down from the Moanalua Freeway Fort Shafter/King Street offramp to the Kalihi Street overpass.
Moanalua Freeway traffic will be detoured to the King Street exit, and H-1 airport viaduct traffic will be detoured to the Middle Street/Dillingham Boulevard offramp, also known as Exit 18 B.
East-bound drivers may reconnect with the east-bound H-1 Freeway at the Kalihi Street onramp near Farrington High School.
