Sansei...a quick online check shows that Kalanianaole Hwy is now open after a rock slide near the blowhole covered the inside lane.

Good heads up, Sansei, thanks!!

It happened at Halona Blowhole area, and Honolulu Advertiser says its reopened, and nobody was hurt. Yay!

Re: Rock Slide Closed Kalanianaole Hwy.

Yikes! Scary! I love the Halona Cove- I think that's one of my favorite places here.

I'm always just a teeny bit afraid when I'm driving along Kam Hwy and see all those "Falling Rock" signs. But I never thought they actually fell. Oops. Really, really glad nobody was hurt.

Do you have a link for that, sansei?

Re: Road Closures

It was on the news. They are planning to remove the zipper lane and make two contra flow lanes in the middle. It will go east bound in the morning and west bound in the afternoon.

Sounds a little like the contra flow lanes in Seattle.

Thanks for the link. The zipper lane certainly didn't last very long! Maybe a decade?

Well, better to get out before the machine becomes unreliable.

I didn't follow the link, but I heard it reported on the news what a great boon this will be for rush hour. Sooo, do we still need rail?
