The rail track from the Hālawa (Aloha Stadium) to Kahauiki (Middle Street) is now energized. The third rail, which powers the trains, carries 750 volts of electricity—contact is deadly.
Although stations may appear finished, they remain active work zones. Entry to secured rail areas and the guideway is strictly prohibited.
Segment 2 is scheduled to open by October 2025, pending safety certification and transfer to the City’s Department of Transportation Services (DTS).
