The State Department of Transportation's contractor plans to close the loop ramp from Aiea leading to Moanalua Freeway Friday night through early Monday morning for the next two weekends for road resurfacing work.
The closures will be limited to May 12-15 and May 19-22 if there are no weather-caused delays.
The Aiea Access Road work on the loop will involve removing the asphalt surface and replacing it with concrete. The closure is necessary becaouse new concrete requires three days to cure.
After each weekend closing, the loop will be reopened at 4:30am the next Monday.
News Update:
According to State Department of Transportation Spokesperson Scott Ishikawa, "Due to the asphalt shortage, Grace Pacific said work along Kamehameha Hwy. to repave over the bad stretches will run through this week (Tuesday, May 16-14th), but may have to be put on-hold the following three weeks. The contractor for Aiea Access Road said he will continue electrical and lighting work while waiting for the new supply of asphalt."
