Waialua Beach Road Bridge 605 bridge was closed in late-March after structural inspections found that the bridge was unsafe for crossings.
The city said that repairs to correct damage to the bridge would usually take one to two years to fix, but it is working to expedite construction to limit closure to six to nine months.
Department of Transportation Services and the Department of Design and Construction also announced Thursday that preliminary designs for the bridge have been completed.
Welcome to the Egg Hunt Court of Appeals.
For those who have no idea what I’m talking about: Every year, I hide 10 imaginary Easter eggs and challenge readers to find them by solving riddles. Then I reveal the locations, and, inevitably, disputes arise.
Let’s turn to Riddle 1, which said “Egg 1 is taking a nice nature walk/At a place that attracts avid fans of hard rock,/Over 500 acres, straddling counties,/People still dig its mineral bounties,/Cutting-edge stuff that really excites/With its piercing beauty and what it ignites.”
The hard rock in question is flint, found at Flint Ridge, a geological feature rich in the mineral used to spark fires and make tools and jewelry. Flint Ridge is an 8-mile-long area that lies in Licking and Muskingum counties.
As usual, the winners of Joe’s Mildly Entertaining Easter Egg hunt proved harder to fool than I expected.
A Laotian Buddhist shrine tucked into an East Side neighborhood? They knew it. Two virtually identical statues of an aviator? They located the right one.
The 16th annual contest challenged readers to decipher rhyming riddles pointing to the location of imaginary eggs. The winners of the always competitive early-bird prize are Steve Huggins, 54, of Bexley, and his daughter, Betsy, a 22-year-old Ohio State University student.
Their 10 correct answers arrived in my email inbox at 12:03 a.m. Tuesday, two minutes after the last riddle in the contest had been posted on Dispatch.com.
