A portion of Honoapiilani Highway will be closed for rock removal work near Papawai Point near Mile Marker 9 from 6 to 11 a.m. Oct. 16, the state Department of Transportation announced Thursday.
The department plans to close the northbound lane and temporarily close both lanes intermittently while it removes a boulder captured by rockfall netting next to the highway. During work hours, the northbound lane closest to the boulder will be closed and traffic will be alternated in the remaining lane.
A contractor will scale the slope, remove the boulder and other debris and adjust the rockfall netting. At points in the boulder removal, all traffic may be stopped for up to 15 minutes at a time for safety, the department said. Drivers should expect delays along the route.
Electronic message boards will be posted, and emergency responders will be notified, the department added.
