HONOLULU, June 27, 2022 - To ensure reliability, Hawaiian Electric crews will be replacing overhead lines in the Kipapa Gulch area Thursday, June 30, and if needed, Friday, July 1. The work on lines that cross over Kamehameha Highway requires a lane closure from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. between Waipio Gentry and Mililani, and traffic will be contra-flowed.
If possible, motorists should seek alternative routes during the scheduled work to reduce traffic congestion on Kamehameha Highway. The work is part of a larger project to replace several spans of critical overhead transmission lines from Kahe Power Plant.
Flagmen and special duty police have been requested to provide onsite traffic control. Traffic cones and safety signs will mark the work zones. Motorists are urged to slow down and drive with caution when approaching and passing the work zones.
