Board of Water Supply crews were expected to continue working overnight
Thursday through this morning to repair a break in a 12-inch water main on Ala
Moana Boulevard, said BWS spokesman Dymian Racoma. The break occurred at
about 6 p.m. Wednesday near the Ala Moana Center bus stop. Repairs closed two
westbound lanes on Ala Moana Boulevard between Atkinson Drive and Piikoi Street,
causing traffic tie-ups. Traffic had to be contra-flowed near the Hawai'i Convention
Center during rush-hour traffic.
