Keaiwa Heiau State Recreation Area and Aiea Loop Trail reopen after storm damage repaired
A popular Oahu park and hiking trail are back open, good news for hikers after weeks of storm-related closure.
- Keaiwa Heiau State Recreation Area and the Aiea Loop Trail reopen tomorrow.
- The site was closed after Tropical Storm Lala damaged power equipment on the property.
- HECO crews finished the repairs, using a helicopter to swap out equipment in the hard-to-reach area.
- Separate work to keep facilities running during power outages is due to wrap up by 2029.
Outlook: The park should stay open now that the damaged equipment is replaced, with longer-term power upgrades still years away.
