HONOLULU – The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT) notifies Oʻahu motorists that lighting through the Wilson Tunnel was restored Thursday, June 12.
The lights inside the tunnel were deenergized to allow the Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) to safely repair two damaged overhead transmission circuits in the Koʻolau mountains on June 4. HECO originally estimated the repairs would take two weeks but has completed the repairs ahead of schedule. HDOT appreciates the efforts HECO made to expedite the repairs and coordinate with HDOT staff.
HDOT thanks Windward motorists for their patience and for driving safely through the tunnel during this necessary outage.
