City officials have scheduled $150 million worth of roadwork during the next 18 months, Mayor Mufi Hannemann said yesterday.

Hannemann and other government officials held a Road Work Symposium at the Blaisdell Center. More than 200 contractors and consultants had registered for the event, which provided information on city road projects, including costs, schedules and locations.

"We're looking at providing a boost to our construction industry at a time when it is most needed," Hannemann said in a written statement.

The event included a discussion of new technologies and products.
