H-1 Freeway Closure This Weekend | Honolulu News

H-1 Freeway in Kalihi is getting a major upgrade—raising the Gulick Overpass and widening the Middle Street merge to five lanes eastbound to smooth traffic and boost safety. But first, brace for temporary chaos: this Saturday night, the freeway will be fully closed between Middle Street and Likelike off-ramp from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. Sunday as crews build a new pedestrian bridge vital for students from Farrington High and Kalakaua Middle. The overpass closure could start as early as August/September and last until late 2027. DOT says the short-term headaches are worth it for long-term efficiency. Expect detours and delays—especially this weekend—and the whole project is set to finish by December 2027. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
