A repaving project is scheduled to begin on various streets near the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport starting Monday, according to city officials.
Work will begin at Waiwai Loop from the intersection at Lagoon Drive to 2660 Waiwai Loop, except for a portion removed from the project due to ongoing utility work by the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation.
The work will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. weekdays, except for paving work, which will be done from 6 p.m. to 5 a.m. weekdays. Work is expected to be completed within 90 calendar days, barring weather-related delays.
The contract includes the pre-construction inspection of manholes, removal of worn-out pavement and the resurfacing or reconstruction of asphalt concrete pavement. Additional work includes adjustment of utility manhole frames and covers, the installation of pavement markers, and the placement of striping and markings.
Drivers should anticipate delays and are reminded to look out for traffic controls, posted signs and special-duty police officers. On-street parking will be prohibited during working hours, so motorists should observe the dates and times on posted roadway signs.
Local residential traffic, deliveries and trash collection will be allowed during construction hours.
Call Grace Pacific at 842-3231 or AECOM at 366-2588 with concerns.
Couple gets prison over illegal injections
A New York City couple was sentenced to prison on charges of illegally injecting women in Honolulu with wrinkle-reducing drugs similar to Botox.
Bu Young Kim was sentenced to three months in prison, and her husband, Chan Hui Cho, was sentenced to two months after federal authorities say they imported drugs from South Korea to administer in Hawaii, Hawaii News Now reported Thursday. The couple was arrested in March 2016 and entered guilty pleas in February.
Authorities say the couple would fly to Hawaii, where Kim would inject women, working out of places like hotel rooms. The couple charged up to $500 for the treatments that are allowable only by licensed practitioners.
Kim’s attorney, Michael Green, said his client cooperated with authorities, and “she didn’t set out to hurt anyone.”
