3 H-1 projects would reduce congestion, commute times
The state aims to shave five to 20 minutes off rush hour commutes with three H-1 Freeway projects costing a total of $155 million.
Another project will add a diamondhead-bound lane at the Middle Street merge, one of the worst bottlenecks on O'ahu.
The contraflow lane, which will be open to cars with any number of occupants, would widen the H-1 Freeway westbound in the afternoon to six lanes from five. The shoulder lane, which officials say might be used for traffic during peak afternoon hours, would make seven lanes.
