Aiea and Pearl City Drivers Face Overnight H-1 Lane Closures Thursday |
Viaduct work will close up to four lanes between Aiea and the H-1/H-2 merge on Nov. 12, with daytime lane work on Kamehameha Highway this week |

Drivers passing through Aiea and Pearl City should plan for overnight lane closures on the H-1 Freeway this Thursday, Nov. 12.
Crews will close three to four westbound lanes between the Kaamilo Street overpass and the H-1/H-2 merge from 7 p.m. Thursday to 4:30 a.m. Friday, according to the state Department of Transportation’s weekly Oahu lane closure schedule.
HDOT also lists an eastbound closure of three to four lanes between the Aiea Heights Drive overpass and the H-1/H-2 merge during the same hours as an alternate, with only one closure worked at a time.
Each closure starts with three lanes at 7 p.m. and grows to four lanes at 8 p.m., and the closed lanes may be on either the left or right side.
The work is part of the Pearl City and Waimalu Viaduct Improvements project.

Closer to Pearlridge and beyond, three left or two right lanes will close on the eastbound H-1 between the Kaonohi Street overpass and the Valkenburgh Street underpass from 8:30 p.m. to 4 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 9, and Thursday, Nov. 12, for striping work on the H-1 Salt Lake Rehabilitation project.
On Kamehameha Highway, one right lane on the Honolulu-bound side between Puu Poni Street and Kuleana Road will close from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Nov. 9, 10, 12 and 13 for Hawaiian Electric utility work.
Up in Halawa, the Halawa and H-3 off-ramps from the westbound H-201 Moanalua Freeway will fully close from 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 9, and Thursday, Nov. 12, for paving and maintenance, with drivers detoured to the Stadium off-ramp.
No lane closures are scheduled on Wednesday, Nov. 11, in observance of Veterans Day, unless otherwise permitted.
HDOT notes that all of the work is weather permitting and schedules can change without notice.
Meanwhile, last week’s emergency water main repair on Kamehameha Highway between Kihale Street and Pali Momi Street is finished, with all lanes reopened around 6:30 a.m. Saturday, as reported by Hawaii News Now.
Give yourself a little extra time on Thursday night, and drive with aloha through the work zones. |
