Harano Tunnel night work begins Tuesday

The Honolulu-bound lane of the H-3 freeway will be closed nightly starting at 9 p.m. Tuesday for maintenance and retrofit of lighting in the Harano Tunnel.

The overnight closures between the Halekou and Halawa interchanges will take place from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly, ending Friday morning.

Motorists are advised to use alternate routes such as the Likelike or Pali highways. Electronic message boards have been installed to inform motorists of the closure.

Maili Stream mouth will be cleared

The city’s Department of Facility Maintenance will be utilizing heavy equipment to remove the sand plug at the mouth of Maili Stream at Ulehawa Beach Park starting Tuesday. The work is expected to last two to three weeks and is being performed in accordance with a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit, according to a news release.

The public is being advised to avoid the work area on the beach due to the movement of heavy equipment and to keep out of the water immediately off of where the sand plug will be removed, as there may be strong currents once the stream mouth is cleared.

City crews will remove as much large debris and litter as possible, and signs will be posted to warn beachgoers of the discharge of stream water into the ocean.
