Drivers may submit a claim for damage reimbursement

HONOLULU – The Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) crews responded to the Zipper Lane following multiple reports of vehicles with damaged tires near the merge of the H-1 and H-2 Freeways today. A street sweeping vehicle cleaned the area of any possible debris. Highways crews filled the pothole and repaired the roadway surface in the Zipper Lane this morning.

The Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) helped nine motorists in the Zipper Lane during the morning commute, of which FSP drivers changed eight tires on the spot. One vehicle was safely towed off the freeway as the spare tire was not accessible. All available FSP services are free. Motorists in need of FSP assistance should call 808-841-HELP (4357).
