Dole Street water main break and sinkhole close road near UH Manoa
A broken water main has opened a sinkhole on Dole Street in Honolulu, closing part of the road and disrupting traffic near the University of Hawaii.
- A large water main in front of Kanewai Park broke and caved in the road.
- Dole Street is shut between Frank Street and East West Road, cutting a route linking St. Louis Heights and UH Manoa.
- Water service is still running, but nearby homes and buildings may see weak water pressure.
- Board of Water Supply crews are on scene and still working on the repair.
Outlook: The road stays closed until crews fix the main and patch the sinkhole, so drivers near UH Manoa should plan detours.
