HART incorporates Hawaiian architectural designs into rail stations system-wide. Cultural elements include pavings, murals, and aesthetic columns. 

At the Āhua (Lagoon Drive) Station, the 12th in Segment 2 of the Honolulu Rail Transit Project, glass mosaic wall murals are featured. Collaborating with artist Carol Yotsuda and artisan Stephen Miotto, these murals, measuring approximately 13ft by 8ft, depict the Legend of Pele on the mauka side, symbolizing the goddess of fire’s arrival in O‘ahu, and draws inspiration from the fishing village with the Legend of the Battle of the Owls on the makai side. 

The artist and artisan commend HART, Shimmick/Traylor/Granite Joint-Venture (STG), and Stantec staff. This marks the artisan’s second installation for the Honolulu Rail Transit Project; the first was at the Kalauao (Pearlridge) Station in Segment 1. 

The Āhua Station is envisioned as a rail access point for the Salt Lake neighborhood, providing transportation for passengers in the Airport industrial area and the lower Mapunapuna industrial area. 

Segment 2 | Approximately 5.2 miles with 4 stations located at Pearl Harbor, Airport, Lagoon Drive, and Middle Street:

• Construction is ongoing, and it is expected to be substantially complete in the 2nd quarter of 2024.
• Core System installation in progress.
• Transfer to the Department of Transportation Services for passenger service operations in 2025 is anticipated.

Just a friendly reminder, HART and our contractors invite the public to our ONLINE MEETING on Thursday, April 25, 2024 at 1pm. Learn about updates on ongoing projects, including lane closures and public impacts in the City Center segment of the Honolulu Rail Transit Project, covering the Kalihi, Iwilei, Downtown, Chinatown, and Kakaako areas.

As a reminder, Operating Segment 1 of the rail system, named Skyline, is now open for passenger service. For questions related to the system’s operations and maintenance, please contact the Citys Department of Transportation Services.

Join the meeting:

HART and Nan, Inc. would like to remind the public of ongoing City Center Utilities Relocation (CCUR) work in the Kalihi area. For the safety of the public and our construction crews, Kamehameha Highway and Dillingham Boulevard between Middle Street and Kaaahi Street is reduced to one lane in each direction 24/7. Left turns onto the intersecting streets and coming in and out of driveways is prohibited. 

In addition, work during the evening hours will require the mauka and makai lanes at the intersecting streets to be closed from 7 pm to 5 am on weeknights, and weekends as needed. 

Bus stops, pedestrian walkways, and access to properties is maintained at all times.
