To facilitate the rehabilitation efforts, temporary travel lane changes will be implemented starting April 8, 2024. Parking will not be permitted on either side of Pauahi Street from Aupuni Street intersection to Kamehameha Avenue intersection during this time. These measures are essential to expedite the bridge construction and to ensure the safety of the community.

Changes to traffic patterns will be posted to the Department of Public Works website, officials say.
