Visitors to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii will have to settle for a boat cruise-by of the USS Arizona Memorial this summer as repairs to the memorial's dock won't be competed until fall.
According to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser:
The National Park Service said today it has awarded a $2.1 million contract for repairs to a faulty USS Arizona Memorial dock that should be completed “by fall” in time for the next Dec. 7, 1941, remembrance.
However, that means there will be no walk-on visitation through the busy summer season.
The park service provided the caveat that repairs are projected to be completed by fall provided no additional complications arise during construction.
Several deadlines to reopen the memorial have come and gone since walk-on visitation was halted last May to one of the most popular tourist destinations in the state.
