The Board of Water Supply’s (BWS) contractor for the project on Kapiolani Boulevard will be probing for existing utility lines on Thursday, March 19, 2015. Motorists are advised to expect roving lane closures on Kapiolani Boulevard between McCully Street and Hoawa Street, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The previously scheduled lane closures to the right and center Diamond Head-bound lanes of Kapiolani Boulevard between Paani Street and Hoawa Street for Friday, March 20, 2015, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., will take place as planned.
The contractor is replacing approximately 2,800 feet of 12-inch water main installed in 1938 and approximately 1,000 feet of 8-inch water main installed in 1953. The renewal of the water system will improve fire protection, enhance water service to residents in the area, and reduce the likelihood of water main breaks.
Motorists are advised to use alternate routes during construction hours, if possible, and to allow for additional travel time. Drivers that must travel through the work area are asked to please abide by posted traffic signs.
