Traffic Advisory: Kapiolani Boulevard Water System Improvement Project Update
Provided weather conditions are favorable, the Board of Water Supply’s (BWS) contractor for the project on Kapiolani Boulevard will be continuing installation work on a new 12-inch water main next week. Motorists are advised to expect the following traffic modifications:
Monday, August 11, to Thursday, August 14, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
• The closure of the far left Diamond Head-bound lane of Kapiolani Boulevard at the McCully Street intersection;
• The closure of at least one Ewa-bound lane of Kapiolani Boulevard at the McCully Street intersection;
• The left turn lane into Waikiki from the Ewa-bound direction of Kapiolani Boulevard at the McCully Street intersection will be modified; and
• At least one lane in both directions of McCully Street at the Kapiolani Boulevard intersection will be closed.
There will be no work on Friday, August 15, in observance of Statehood Day.
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.
