The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT) has announced the start of night work on Farrington Highway, extending from Nānākuli to Kapolei. The project aims to enhance safety along this stretch of road.
From Sunday through Thursday each week, a left lane in both directions will be closed nightly from 7 p.m. to 6:15 a.m., covering the area between Nānākuli Avenue and the Kalaeloa Interchange. Initially, crews will close the left eastbound lane at 7 p.m., followed by the closure of the left westbound lane at 8:30 p.m.
To minimize disruption for morning commuters, HDOT plans to reopen the eastbound lane at 4:15 a.m. daily, while the westbound lane will reopen at 6:15 a.m.
The planned improvements include installing median barriers to prevent head-on collisions, adding shoulder rumble strips, reconstructing and widening pavement where necessary, and relocating drainage systems and signage. These measures are part of proven safety countermeasures aimed at reducing accidents on this highway.
The work is expected to take approximately 33 weeks, with an estimated completion date set for December 2025. However, all schedules are weather-dependent and may change accordingly.
"HDOT thanks the public for its cooperation as we work to maintain safe facilities," stated HDOT officials.
