Two southbound lanes on Liliha Street between North School and North King streets will be closed this weekend for road repairs.

The stretch will be closed beginning at 9 a.m. Friday through 6 p.m. Sunday, the Department of Transportation said in a news release.

Special duty police officers will be on site to assist with traffic flow. Electronic message boards will be placed in the area in advance of the closure to alert drivers to the repair work.

During the closure, traffic will be contraflowed in the northbound lanes, providing motorists one travel lane in either direction through the project area.

Left turns from Liliha Street onto North School Street, Vineyard Boulevard and North King Street will be restricted. Motorists are advised to use Aala and Palama streets as alternate routes.

In addition to the weekend work, the ongoing Liliha Street rehabilitation project will have in place a right lane closure in the northbound direction at the North School Street intersection from 8:30 a.m. to noon and a lane closure in the southbound direction from noon to 3 p.m. through today for sidewalk and railing reconstruction.
