Be ready for night and weekend lane closures as road work ramps up
HONOLULU (KHON2) — State transportation officials are warning Oahu drivers to expect delays due to an uptick in road construction, especially along major corridors including the H-1 Freeway, Moanalua Freeway, and areas near the airport. Honolulu city council looks to use hotel tax to help lower projected sewer fee increase The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT) reported 25 separate projects with lane closures along the H-1 Freeway alone during the week of May 10 to May 16. Additional work is also underway on the H-2 and Moanalua freeways. 'Probably one of our most impactful projects right now would be the H-1 Pearl City and Waimalu viaduct improvements,' said HDOT Communications Manager Shelly Kunishige. 'That closes up to four lanes Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. and is likely to continue through March 2027.' Other ongoing projects include: Airport Viaduct Improvements — Closing westbound lanes Tuesday through Monday, from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m., expected to finish by August 2025. Salt Lake Rehabilitation Project — Affects eastbound H-1 traffic on weekends and evenings, with completion anticipated in June. Moanalua Freeway Repaving — Between the H-3 and Fort Shafter overpass, targeted for completion by year's the frustrations for drivers, HDOT said there is a reason so many projects are happening simultaneously. 'All of this work has federal monies attached, so we do need to expend them while we have that funding authorization,' Kunishige said. 'We don't like to cause traffic, but we're trying to improve the roads and create long-lasting pavement so we don't have to do this for another 10 or 15 years.' Some drivers are feeling the strain. 'Kind of humbug,' said a Honolulu resident who asked to remain anonymous. 'They got to get 'em together, you know. Space 'em out. Maybe take a break sometime, do one project at a time.' An ʻAiea resident said she tries to plan ahead. 'I'm prepared, knowing that there's going to be road closures. I just time my appointments accordingly,' she said. DOT posts its weekly roadwork schedule every Friday. Officials recommend that drivers check for updates and plan routes before heading out.

Caltrans updates on I-80 and Highway 50 ramp closures for commuters
( — Caltrans is alerting the community of an update on the ramp closures for the ongoing I-80 and Highway 50 Pavement Rehabilitation Project in Yolo County. According to Caltrans, the Chiles Road on and off-ramps along westbound I-80 will be affected by the anticipated weather expected in the area. Since the materials related to this repaving project can not be placed in wet conditions, there have been some shifts that have been canceled. Three fire stations dispatched to apartment fire in South Sacramento The Chiles Road off-ramp closure will start on Friday at 9 p.m. and will last until April 14 at 5 a.m., stated Caltrans. The on-ramp to westbound I-80 closure has already started and will last until April 16. Photo provided by Caltrans Caltrans has suggested a detour through westbound I-80 and motorists can use Mace Boulevard as an alternative entrance and exit for I-80. The work zone is from just west of the Yolo Causeway along I-80 and Highway 50 in West Sacramento, said Caltrans. The speed limit has been reduced to 55 mph for the safety of other motorists and workers. Caltrans said, 'The extended lane closures will help to minimize the duration of the work and improve workers' safety.' According to a statement from Caltrans, this is a $280 million project that includes $47 million from Senate Bill One which is the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. The bill provides about $5 billion in transportation funding every year which is shared equally between state and local agencies. 'Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 lane miles in 11 Sacramento Valley and Northern Sierra counties,' said officials. 'Caltrans reminds motorists to 'Be Work Zone Alert' and slow in construction zones for the safety of travelers and crews performing these improvements.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
