A full closure of the H-1 Freeway is necessary to prepare the bridge for utility installations in November. Construction requiring a full closure of the H-1 Freeway should be completed in one week, however work is tentatively scheduled for the following week of Oct. 26 – Nov. 1. HDOT will keep the public informed by news release, posts to our HDOT website at hidot.hawaii.gov and to our social media websites, Facebook and Twitter.

In addition to the full closure, Kalaeloa Boulevard will be closed in the northbound direction between Kapolei Parkway and Farrington Highway on Sunday, Oct. 20, through Tuesday, Oct. 22, from 8 p.m. to 4:30 a.m., for striping work. Motorists will be detoured at Kapolei Parkway to access Farrington Highway in the westbound direction and the H-1 Freeway in the eastbound direction. See below for a map of a detour map.

Electronic message boards will be posted to notify motorists of the closures and detours. Special Duty Police Officers will be on-site to assist with traffic control and safety procedures. Emergency vehicles, first responders, and TheBus have been notified of the full closure and will not be allowed through the work zone.

Motorists are advised to allow for extra travel time to get to their destinations. For more information on the Kapolei Interchange project, please view the project website at https://kapolei-interchange.squarespace.com/. All roadwork is weather permitting.
