Two southbound lanes on Liliha Street between North School Street and North King Street will be closed this weekend for road repairs.

The lanes will be closed beginning at 9 a.m. Friday through 6 p.m. Sunday, the Department of Transportation said.

Special duty police officers will be on site to assist with traffic flow. Electronic message boards will be placed in the area in advance of the weekend closure to alert drivers of the work.

During the closure, traffic will be contraflowed in the northbound lanes, providing motorists one travel lane in either direction through the project area.

Left turns from Liliha Street to North School Street, Vineyard Boulevard and North King Street will be restricted during this time. Motorists are advised to use Aala Street or Palama Street as possible alternate routes.

In addition to the weekend work, the Liliha Street rehabilitation project will have a right-lane closure in the northbound direction at the North School Street intersection from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., and a lane closure in the southbound direction from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. through Thursday for sidewalk and railing reconstruction.
