Ala Wai Boulevard fully reopened after water main break
By Star-Bulletin staff
POSTED: 02:08 p.m. HST, Nov 06, 2009
All lanes of Ala Wai Boulevard were open as of 1 p.m. today, after being closed yesterday by an early-morning water main break.
At 3:44 a.m. yesterday, two water mains broke at Ala Wai Boulevard and Keoniana Street, damaging the roadway, cutting water to 12 buildings and causing major traffic congestion as motorists were detoured down Namahana Street onto Kuhio Avenue.
The break occurred near the juncture between a 16-inch and an 8-inch main. Both needed repair, and it was not clear which broke first or why, Tracy Burgo, Board of Water Supply spokeswoman, said yesterday.
Repairs were complicated by other underground utilities, including a gas line that needed repairs after it was damaged but not ruptured.
By 9 p.m. yesterday crews had repaired the 16-inch main, but work to fix the road continue until midday today.
