The Honolulu Skyline rail system this month opened its second segment, as the city continues construction of the remaining length of the 18.9 mile corridor.
The first 10 miles, from Kapolei to Aloha Stadium, opened in July. The second segment travels 5.2 miles from Aloha Stadium to West Honolulu, with a station at the Daniel K. Inouye Airport. From the airport station, travelers can take pedestrian bridges and walkways to Terminals 1, 2 and 3.
"This is an exciting moment for our city and for everyone who has worked so hard to make Skyline a reality," Honolulu mayor Rick Blangiardi said in a news release. "Every new mile and every new station represents progress for our city -- connecting people to jobs, schools and each other in ways that make Oahu stronger and more connected."
The third segment is expected to be completed in 2031. It will connect West Honolulu through Chinatown, downtown to the Kakaako area.
