Fire rescue personnel responding to an 8:47 a.m. call found the bicyclist on the roadway. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A department spokesman said the man on the bicycle had been struck by a semi-tractor trailer.
The highway was closed for several hours from Waianuenue Avenue to Hau Street, with traffic being detoured onto Wainaku Street.
