New lane striping has been installed on the bridge. Protective barriers will remain in place through the project’s final stages.
HONOLULU – Waipahu Street Arch Bridge has fully reopened to traffic in both directions following the completion of critical repairs to reinforce the bridge’s foundations, which were undermined during the Kona Low storm in March 2026.
While the bridge is fully reopened to traffic, work continues underneath the structure. Remaining improvements include installing rocks to stabilize the streambed and protect it against future erosion. This work is expected to be completed by October 2026.
Sediment excavated from foundation footings and streambed.
