Honolulu Rail Transit

Installation of new traffic signals is underway along Dillingham Boulevard from Middle Street to Kokea Street.

Crews are currently installing new mast arms onto drilled foundations. Concrete is poured to form the foundation, and after curing, the vertical pole and horizontal mast arm are bolted into place. Once completed, the intersections will feature upgraded traffic signal infrastructure including new signal poles, controller cabinets, CCTV cameras, and cables.

Preview of Iwilei Station

The Kūwili (Iwilei) Station will be located at the intersection of Dillingham Boulevard and Kaʻaahi Street and will support the City’s long‑term vision to transform Iwilei into a vibrant, mixed‑use community with new housing, commercial space, and upgraded infrastructure—all connected by Skyline.

Crews recently removed six spans of 46kV electrical cable from overhead poles between Puuhale Road and Kalihi Street.

The first video shows our contractor removing de‑energized high‑voltage overhead conductors.

The second video shows crews coiling the conductor onto a wire‑reel machine for safe handling.

New underground 46kV cables are installed and energized.

Mahalo to our contractors for their continued commitment to safety!

Rebar cages used to reinforce the guideway shafts stand about 75 feet tall and weigh over 20,000 pounds.

Here, you can see a rebar cage being carefully lowered into a drilled shaft along Dillingham Boulevard — a precise operation that sets the foundation for the future guideway structure.

Electrical pole removal is underway along Dillingham Boulevard.

With new infrastructure installed, crews are now removing the old poles. Each pole is secured to a small crane, detached from its foundation, and then cut and lifted out for safe removal.
