The Hawaii Department of Transportation alerts motorists traveling eastbound on Moanalua Freeway (Route H-201) that the Puuloa Road off-ramp (Exit 3) will be closed to all traffic on Friday from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. Saturday.

Crews will be working in sections over two weeks to install new striping.

The work this week will be on the left half of the Puuloa Road off-ramp. Crews will return on the evening of Friday, May 23 to install striping on the right half of the off-ramp.

The work will also require the intermittent closure of the right lane on the eastbound Moanalua Freeway to install six pavement arrows prior to the off-ramp.

During work hours, motorists will be allowed to exit through the shoulder lane of the off-ramp, though intermittent full closures of the shoulder may be necessary, according to HDOT. To access the Mapunapuna business district during the full closure, motorists can utilize the Fort Shafter/King Street off-ramp to Funston Road, then westbound Kaua Street off-ramp to Kikowaena Street.

Electronic message boards will be posted and special duty police officers will be on-site to assist with traffic control.
