The temporary 12-ton (24,000 pound) posted weight limit for the Nanue Bridge on Hawaii Belt Road at milepost 18.5  will be removed at noon today.

The unposted limit for bridges on the state highway system is 40 tons.

The closure of the northbound lane of Route 19 over Nanue Bridge for placement of the tower scaffold will remain in place until repairs are complete.  This is expected on or before the end of September 2022.  Until the second lane opens, alternating traffic control, or contraflow will be used to maintain travel in both directions.

The Hamakua-bound truck turnaround in Hakalau and the Hilo-bound truck turnaround near Waikaumalo Park will no longer be needed.
