CURRENT SPOTLIGHTS
H-1 Freeway PM Contraflow Project
Work is underway to rebuild deteriorated parts of the H-1 viaducts in the Pearl City and Waimalu areas. Concrete sections are being demolished and fast-drying cement is poured overnight and on Sundays. Work will include widening of the H-1 westbound between the Pearl City and Waipahu exits to add an auxiliary lane, along with restriping from the Aiea Pedestrian Overpass to the Pearl City exit to add an additional westbound auxiliary lane. The final piece of this project will be the installation of the westbound contraflow lane which will help to alleviate afternoon rush-hour traffic. Work is anticipated to be completed in Fall of 2014. For a project hotline and anticipated Sunday closures, please visit pmcontraflow.com
