The Hawai‘i Department of Transportation (HDOT) will begin Phase 4 of the Hilo International Airport (ITO) Taxiway and Runway Lighting Replacement Project tonight.

The work, which will be conducted between the hours of 9pm and 5:30am, will include replacing all runway and taxiway lighting infrastructure, light fixtures and airfield signs, as well as improvements to the electrical draining system.

The work will also require the closure of runway 8-26. During the closure the alternate runway, 3-21, will be used for aircraft operations.

The runway work is part of the HDOT’s ongoing efforts to maintain the runway and improve takeoff and taxiway operations at ITO. HDOT has scheduled this work at night to minimize impacts to air travelers and airline operations, as well as to reduce the project duration to the extent possible.
