Three northbound lanes of the H-2 freeway will close from 9 p.m. today to 4 a.m. tomorrow between the Pineapple Road Overpass and Kipapa Bridge in Mililani for pavement replacement work. The state Department of Transportation will reopen the lanes after that but will again close them continuously from 9 p.m. Friday through 5 p.m. Sunday.
