HONOLULU – The Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) advises Oahu motorists that one to two lanes will be closed continuously over the weekend on the H-1 Freeway in the westbound direction between the Vineyard Boulevard onramp and the Likelike Highway offramp (Exit 20A), for shoulder and guardrail work. Closures will begin at 8 p.m. on Friday night, Oct. 12, 2018, and will end at 4 a.m. on Monday morning, Oct. 15, 2018. During this time, all onramps and offramps will remain open.

Specific closure details for this project are:

• Right lane and shoulder lane will be closed between the Houghtailing Street offramp (Exit 20B) and the Likelike Highway offramp (Exit 20A), on Friday, Oct. 12, 2018, through Monday, Oct. 15, 2018, beginning at 8 p.m., 24-hours a day.

Emergency vehicles, first responders and TheBus have been notified of the closures and will be allowed through the work zone.
