First Alert Traffic: H-1 west viaduct on-ramp to close this weekend

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – If you’re driving on Oahu heading westbound toward the airport this weekend, you may encounter a change in your route.
The westbound H-1 Freeway on-ramp from Kamehameha Highway will be completely closed from 8 p.m., Friday, Oct. 18, through 1 a.m., Monday, Oct. 21, as part of the H-1 Freeway Airport Viaduct Improvements Project.
A full closure is needed to survey the concrete deck, repair defective concrete and bridge joints, allow for necessary curing time and to install temporary striping in preparation for the planned surface treatment and concrete overlay.

Three right lanes will also be closed on the westbound H-1 Freeway from the Keehi Interchange to the Pearl Harbor Interchange from 8 p.m., Friday, Oct. 18, continuously through 1 a.m., Monday, Oct. 21. This work is anticipated to take approximately two weeks, with further work to be announced as scheduled.
