HONOLULU – The Hawaii Department of Transportation Airports Division alerts the public of an overnight lane closure on Aolele Street at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) for construction activities on the new Mauka Concourse project. Right turns will be temporarily restricted from the airport to Aolele Street northbound towards Nimitz Highway, near the US Post Office, from 8 p.m. to 4:30 a.m., beginning on Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2020, weather permitting. The work is scheduled to be completed in one night.

During the lane closure, access to the US Post Office will be accessible on Aolele Street from Nimitz Highway only. Traffic control measures and signs will also be placed throughout the area to alert drivers of the construction detour.

Airport operations will not be impacted and access to HNL Terminals 1, 2 and 3, parking structures, rental car offices and other airport facilities will all remain open and uninterrupted.

The second level departure area will include a new air-conditioned Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoint with six lanes to screen passengers.

Construction on the Mauka Concourse modernization project is scheduled to be completed fall 2021.
