Department of Transportation

HONOLULU – The Hawai‘i Department of Transportation (HDOT) notifies the public of the full closure of the Waiʻalae on-ramp to the H-1 westbound beginning  Monday, May 5 to Friday, May 9, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. While the on-ramp will be closed, the Waiʻalae Avenue lane will remain open. Traffic will be detoured to Waiʻalae Avenue then to the 11^th Avenue on-ramp.

The closure is needed to repair the damaged concrete base of a light pole next to the freeway at the Waialae on-ramp. The work will include demolition and replacement of the concrete base. The project cannot be undertaken at night because the demolition work will generate noise that will impact nearby residents. Tree trimming and other needed repairs may also be undertaken during this period.

Police will be on-scene to help with traffic control.

Variable message boards will be posted. For weekly Oʻahu lane closures go to, https://hidot.hawaii.gov/highways/roadwork/oahu/
