HONOLULU – The City and County of Honolulu’s Department of Design and Construction (DDC) announces a new start date and revised road closure plan for emergency drainage repairs on Magellan Avenue. Construction will now begin on November 2, 2026, instead of the previously announced October 12, 2026.

The contractor has also revised its plans. Instead of the previously announced 24/7 closure of Magellan Avenue between Miller Street and Alapa‘i Street, the road will be closed from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. during weekdays for the duration of the project.

The project, awarded to JBC Engineering & Construction, LLC, will include installing temporary erosion and sediment controls, removing trees and vegetation, excavating, replacing guardrails, implementing traffic control measures, and restoring grass and the asphalt roadway.

Dole Community Park
To provide a safe, centralized space for materials and equipment, a staging area has been in place in front of Dole Community Park since September 21, 2026. Parking in front of Dole Community Park will be prohibited for the duration of the project.

Magellan Avenue
Beginning November 2, 2026, Magellan Avenue will be closed between Miller Street and Alapa‘i Street from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on weekdays (excluding holidays) for the duration of this project. Local traffic may pass through the area to access their properties. The contractor will coordinate and manage local area traffic for businesses and residents, including deliveries, trash collection, and emergency services.

The upcoming work will cause some dust and noise in the surrounding area. The contractor will use appropriate measures to limit construction debris and other nuisances. The City appreciates the public’s assistance and cooperation during this project, as well as the community’s patience and support.
