The Hawai‘i Department of Transportation informs the public of nighttime runway work at the Hilo International Airport.
On Jan. 9, Hilo International Airport’s runway 8/26 will be closed from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. for paving repair work. Additional closure of the runway may be needed on Jan. 10, 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., if the work is not finished on the first night.
All work is weather permitting.
The Hawai‘i Department of Transportation has scheduled this maintenance work at night to minimize impacts on air travelers and airline operations and reduce the project duration to the extent possible.
The work must be done to ensure the safety of all aircraft operations.
