Work to improve street lighting and enhance pedestrian safety begins Monday, March 10, on the mauka/ewa corner of McCully Street and Kapiolani Boulevard next to the McCully Shopping Center. 

The project by the city’s Department of Design and Construction and Department of Facility Maintenance involves installing a steel street light pole and lighting system to better illuminate the crosswalk area in this high-traffic area, according to a release.

The project will continue through April 3 with work being done from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

Crews plan to conduct all work in the sidewalk area, but they may need to temporarily block one lane of McCully Street next to the work site to operate equipment and for worker safety. Pedestrians may also be redirected to use alternate crosswalks or follow detours. Drivers are asked to exercise caution and expect minor delays near the intersection.

Paul’s Electrical Contracting, LLC has been contracted to do the work at a cost of $37,700.
