Partial 11th Avenue closure after ceiling collapse at Kaimuki restaurant
Part of 11th Avenue in Kaimuki is closed after a ceiling caved in at a local restaurant, a headache for drivers and nearby businesses but a precaution meant to keep people safe.
- A section of the ceiling collapsed at the Happy Days restaurant building.
- The city shut down part of 11th Avenue over fears a wall could come down next.
- Recent inspections turned up serious structural problems with the building.
- Traffic in the area is being routed around the closed stretch.
Outlook: The street likely stays closed until engineers decide the wall is safe or the damaged section is torn down.
