Honolulu transit construction triggers Ala Moana Boulevard lane closures

The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) has announced new 24-hour lane closures on Ala Moana Boulevard to facilitate the construction of the Skyline Downtown Station. Starting the week of October 19, an additional eastbound lane between Bishop and Richards streets will be closed seven days a week.

As part of this construction phase, the eastbound left turn from Ala Moana Boulevard onto Halekauwila Street will remain closed indefinitely. While a minimum of two lanes will stay open during daytime hours, additional lanes may occasionally close in both directions at night to accommodate heavy equipment and construction activity.

HART officials stated that property access will be maintained, though motorists and pedestrians should expect detours and increased activity in the area. This work is part of Segment 3 of the Skyline project, which aims to add six new stations with a target completion date of 2031.
