Statewide lane closures planned on Big Island through July 17
Route 11 work from Hilo to Volcano and Route 130 repairs between Keaau and Pāhoa will hit Big Island drivers through July 17. HDOT says the closures are weather permitting and can change without notice.
Lane closures on Highway 11 from Hilo to Volcano and on Highway 130 between Keaau and Pāhoa run through July 17. Traffic will generally be kept moving with one lane in each direction where possible, but delays are likely.
HDOT’s Hawaii Island roadwork page includes Route 11 work near Banyan Drive for striping and pavement-marker installation, and in Volcano near Crater Rim Drive and Kilauea Military Camp for removal of old poles and conductors. Additional Route 11 work is scheduled in Pahala, Pāpā, and the Kuakini Highway corridor between Captain Cook and Hōlualoa, where crews will remove and replace striping and pavement markers. Along the Hilo-to-Volcano stretch, some of the work is near Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Route 19 will have lane closures in Hilo, Honomū, Ninole, and Ōōkala, while Route 130 will see work between Keaau and Pāhoa. Route 200 is also scheduled. The week’s projects involve vegetation cutting, bridge maintenance, paving, striping, and pole removal. Public roadwork pages are updated every Friday and include a lane-closure map and island-specific notices. The schedules are weather permitting and may change at any time without further notice.
Earlier this month, HDOT closed Bayfront Highway in Hilo between the Pauahi intersection and Wailuku Bridge from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on July 4 for the Hilo Bay Blast Fourth of July celebration, sending traffic to Kamehameha Avenue. It also closed Māmalahoa Highway in Nāālehu between Niu Street and Kaalaiki Road from 11:55 a.m. to 12:55 p.m. the same day for the Nāālehu Independence Day Parade.
