HONOLULU (KHON2) -- The Honolulu Department of Design and Construction (DDC) will launch a road improvement project in Kaka‘ako on Monday, August 19.
According to DDC, this project will enhance asphalt roads, add new signs and pavement markings. Construction will occur Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Drivers should expect detours and road closures delays in the following areas:
