The pedestrian bridges near Kamake‘e Street and the Hawaiian Pond are expected to remain open and accessible during construction. We ask the public to please be cautious in these areas during the project. Additionally, pedestrian access at the construction site and on the two bridges being replaced will be restricted during the project. The project will additionally result in the planting of 22 new palm trees, primarily near the bridge entries.ĭue to the delivery of large precast materials for this project, vehicular traffic along the makai lanes of Ala Moana Boulevard will be intermittently impacted during the project, and will require partial closure. The park has received much care and support over the last eight years and its incredible beauty is shining through once again.”Įxceptional Trees in the project area will be protected, however three trees along the makai-end of the canal wall will be relocated and one will be removed to reduce damage to the canal walls. These continued improvements are all part of an ongoing effort to take care of an irreplaceable natural resource for our residents that has been neglected for decades, and allowed to degrade. “Also to be repaired are the collapsed coral block canal wall built at the inception of the park in the 1930’s that collapsed into the canal a couple years ago. “This pedestrian bridge will provide central and much needed pedestrian access to Ala Moana Regional Park, the most heavily used park in the state, and sometimes called the ‘People’s Park,” said Mayor Kirk Caldwell. Both bridges will additionally have decorative railings and abutments that reflect the art-deco architectural features prevalent in this historic park.
The existing bridges measure about 10’ wide and the new bridge near Queen Street will be twice as wide, while the new bridge near Pi‘ikoi Street will be triple the width. The pedestrian bridges over the drainage canal near Queen Street and Pi‘ikoi streets will be removed and replaced with wider bridges that align with the crosswalks on Ala Moana Boulevard. The fallen sections of the existing walls will be replaced with a precast reinforced concrete wall, and the repaired wall sections will be reconstructed with concrete rubble masonry. Roughly 900-feet of the drainage canal wall between the ‘Ewa-side Japanese Pond and tennis courts will be repaired or replaced, including the portion that collapsed in 2016.
