The Hawai‘i Department of Transportation (HDOT) has announced a full closure of the Waipahu off-ramp (Exit 8B) from the westbound H-1 Freeway on Saturday, June 14. This closure is necessary for repairs following a recent motor vehicle collision.
The repair work will involve removing sand barrel barriers and fixing an attenuator, which is a device designed to absorb impact energy and redirect vehicles back onto the roadway. The closure will be in effect from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Motorists are advised to use the Waikele/Waipahu off-ramp (Exit 7) as an alternative route to access the Waipahu area during this time. HDOT emphasizes that drivers should exercise caution, pay attention to traffic control signs and barriers, and plan their commutes accordingly. Special duty police officers will be present at the site to assist with safety measures.
