MĀNOA – On Saturday, March 18, 2023, a portion of Dole Street between the University of Hawai‘i campus’ East West Center Road and the Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies will be closed from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. to allow a film crew to work safely in the street near the Mānoa Stream.
“NCIS has been working closely with the University of Hawai‘i to coordinate this activity during the Spring Break period when there are no classes and few students and faculty in the area,” says Honolulu Film Commissioner Walea Constantinau. “The filming sequence requires safety gear and camera equipment to be stationed on the road for about five hours on Saturday morning requiring its closure for everyone’s safety.”
Public access to the areas outside of the closure will be maintained throughout the morning filming activity and TheBus will be allowed to traverse the closure. The public is asked to access Kānewai Community Park via the St. Louis Drive side of Dole Street. Detours around the closure will be set up through the University of Hawai‘i’s campus including Lower Campus Road and East West Center Road.
Drivers are asked to avoid the area if possible, take alternate routes and anticipate delays.
Hawai‘i’s film industry generated an estimated $488 million in spending in the state while creating televisions shows like CBS’ ‘NCIS: Hawai‘i,’ NBC’s ‘Magnum PI,’ Disney+’ ‘Doogie Kamealoha,’ Apple TV’s ‘Chief of War,’ and movies like Hulu’s ‘Honeymoon Friends,’ Netflix’ ‘Murder Mystery 2,’ and a variety of films for the Hallmark Channel in 2022, totaling an estimated economic output of approximately $850 million.
