Board of Water Supply crews are currently working on a 12-inch water main break in Nuuanu.

The incident happened just after 7:30 Sunday night.

This work is forcing the closure of Puiwa Road, between Pali Highway and Puiwa Lane.

Until repairs are completed, residents, motorists, and those who need to access Nuuanu Elementary School are being asked to instead use Laimi Road to get in and out of the area.

Sign boards have been set up on to alert motorists of this change and special duty police are assisting with traffic.
