Aloha Thomas,

Nan, Inc. and the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) began the Dillingham Utilities Relocation work for the Honolulu Rail Transit Project (HRTP) on December 5, 2022. The initial utilities relocation work is on Dillingham Boulevard, between Mokauea Street and Waiakamilo Road. Beginning early 2023, this lane configuration will extend through the length of Kamehameha Highway and Dillingham Boulevard from Middle Street to Kaaahi Street.

We will coordinate with all businesses along Dillingham Boulevard to ensure their driveways remain open and accessible during their business hours.

Drivers are advised to adhere to the traffic cones and signs that are strategically placed to guide drivers through our traffic control and detours. Please see below construction map and traffic plans for more details.
