The Board of Water Supply’s (BWS) contractor for the water system improvement project on Kapiolani Boulevard will be continuing their work to install necessary manholes in the area. Work is scheduled to take place on Kapiolani Boulevard at the Hoawa Street intersection. Motorists are advised to expect the following traffic modifications:
Monday, April 13, to Friday, April 17, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
- The closure of the far right and center Ewa-bound lanes of Kapiolani Boulevard between Isenberg Street and Paani Street;
- The closure of the makai-bound lane of Hoawa Street between Lime Street and Kapolani Boulevard. There will be no right turn onto Kapiolani Boulevard from Hoawa Street.
The indicated lane closures may be modified based on project needs.
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.
