Work to start on rail’s $496M ‘mauka shift’ along Dillingham
HONOLULU — The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation has authorized Nan Inc. to proceed with the so-called “mauka shift,” relocating utility infrastructure along Dillingham Boulevard in an effort to save money and create enough space to accommodate the rail line without having to move above-ground power lines.
The $496.3 million project, which was awarded to Nan in August, involves moving major utilities infrastructure along Dillingham Boulevard from the corner of Kamehameha Highway and Laumaka Street to the corner of Dillingham Boulevard and Kaaahi Street.
