Skyline Rail Gets $53M Boost Amid Delays | Honolulu News

HART just approved a $53 million change order for Hitachi Rail Honolulu JV, tied to delays and design changes for Segment Three of the Skyline rail project — the stretch heading to Kakaako. While this doesn’t cover actual construction, it funds critical system updates like train controls and communications, as older tech and designs need modern compatibility. The move bumps Hitachi’s total contract to $1.779 billion and extends their timeline to April 2029. This comes amid ongoing legal battles over mismanagement, with both sides claiming billions in damages. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
