Repair work began last night on the Aiea pedestrian overpass, which has been closed since it was struck Sept. 6 by an oversize load being carried on an Army truck.

Two of the six Ewa-bound lanes of H-1 will be closed from 9 p.m. to 3:15 a.m. through Thursday while crews do preliminary repairs on the concrete bridge. Two left lanes will be closed tonight, and two right lanes will be closed tomorrow and Thursday.

The westbound lanes will be closed to traffic between the Halawa Interchange and the Waiau Interchange in Pearl City from 1:30 to 5 a.m. Sunday so the contractor can install a precast section that will restore the walkway.
