Rail construction work in Honolulu is moving into a new phase that will disrupt traffic and street access, which is a headache for drivers and pedestrians nearby but a sign of steady progress on the long-delayed project.

Crews are building the elevated track structure along the street toward Cook Street.

Work that used to happen during the day will now also run during nights and weekends, so people should expect changing routes and more heavy equipment on the road.

Access to properties will stay open as crews move into new areas, and HART says it will notify tenants and share updates as the work progresses.

Outlook: Expect ongoing traffic and route changes in the area as construction continues toward Cook Street.
