14 Lane Closures on Hawaiʻi Island Roads Feb. 28 to March 6
HDOT posted a consolidated list of 14 planned lane closures on Hawaiʻi Island state highways for the week of Feb. 28–March 6; Big Island Now published the affected segments and cautioned schedules may change.

1. HILO TO VOLCANO (Highway 11)
The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation included the Hilo-to-Volcano corridor on its consolidated list of 14 planned lane closures for the week of Feb. 28–March 6, the advisory notes reproduced on Big Island Now show. The published excerpt does not give start/stop times or mileposts for this segment; motorists driving between Hilo and Volcano should expect intermittent work and check the HDOT map for the latest timing and traffic controls.
2. MOUNTAIN VIEW (Highway 11)
Mountain View appears as a separate closure entry under Highway 11 in the Big Island Now compilation of HDOT-planned work for the same week. The advisory lists the segment name but, in the available excerpt, omits specific hours and the nature of the work; neighbors in Puna should plan alternate travel windows until HDOT’s map or a full advisory clarifies whether closures are daytime or overnight.
3. VOLCANO (Highway 11)
Volcano is listed again under Highway 11 among the 14 items HDOT consolidated and Big Island Now republished, indicating roadway work in the National Park access corridor or nearby stretches. With no detailed permit times given in the excerpt, expect possible lane shifts and watch for crews and flaggers on approaches to the park road; confirm conditions on the online lane-closure map before heading out.
4. KĪPĀHOEHOE (Highway 11)
Kīpāhoehoe is named as one of the Highway 11 segments with planned lane closures during the Feb. 28–March 6 period, per the HDOT list published by Big Island Now. The report includes the segment name without mileposts or daily schedules in the supplied excerpt; drivers on coastal Highway 11 near Kīpāhoehoe should treat posted work zones seriously and allow extra travel time.
5. HŌNAUNAU TO CAPTAIN COOK (Highway 11)
The Hōnaunau to Captain Cook section on Highway 11 appears in the consolidated list, signaling work on the Kona coast travel corridor during the week. Big Island Now presents the segment header but not the operational details in the excerpt; if you commute between Hōnaunau, Captain Cook and Kealakekua, plan for potential short delays and consult HDOT updates for lane-control procedures.
6. KEAHOU (Highway 11)
Keahou is the final Highway 11 entry in the Big Island Now list of 14 closures; HDOT’s consolidated notice ties this segment to the same week of work. Without time windows given in the excerpt, assume crews may be active on weekdays and look to HDOT’s map and advisories for precise schedules affecting Keahou and nearby Kona access points.
7. Emergency repairs to Hawai‘i Belt Road (mile posts 3–15)
Big Island Now’s posting highlights an emergency-repair note: "For details about the emergency repairs to Hawai‘i Belt Road, between mile posts 3 and 15, click here." That language flags a significant repair affecting a long stretch of the Belt Road; the excerpt does not include the linked details, so drivers between those mileposts should follow Big Island Now or HDOT for the full emergency schedule, detours and any restrictions.
8. HILO TO ʻŌʻŌKALA (Highway 19)
Highway 19’s Hilo-to-ʻŌʻŌkala corridor is one of the 14 entries HDOT listed and Big Island Now published for Feb. 28–March 6. The excerpt lists the segment name but not the closure times or traffic control methods; residents and commercial drivers on the Hāmākua coast should factor potential lane work into travel plans and check the online map for updates.

9. HONOMŪ TO HAKALAU (Highway 19)
The Honomū-to-Hakalau stretch on Highway 19 is included among the planned closures, indicating localized work on Hāmākua coastal driveways or shoulders during the week. Because the Big Island Now excerpt lacks detailed scheduling, assume weekday work and monitor HDOT’s map or news updates for alternating-traffic plans or overnight operations.
10. PĀPAʻALOA (Highway 19)
Pāpaʻaloa is listed as a separate closure segment under Highway 19 in the HDOT consolidation republished by Big Island Now. With no specific hours or mileposts provided in the excerpt, commuters using the Pāpaʻaloa stretch should expect temporary lane changes and follow posted signage; HDOT’s map is the authoritative, evolving source for timing.
11. ʻŌʻŌKALA (Highway 19)
ʻŌʻōkala appears again as an item under Highway 19 in the Big Island Now list of 14 HDOT-planned closures, suggesting work at or near the ʻŌʻōkala community specifically. The supplied excerpt gives only the segment header; if you travel this section for school, hospital or business access, verify exact closure windows with HDOT before scheduling trips.
12. PĀHOA (Highway 130)
Highway 130’s Pāhoa segment is among the 14 named closures in the HDOT compilation republished by Big Island Now for Feb. 28–March 6. Pāhoa-area motorists should be alert for roadside crews and potential temporary lane reductions; because the excerpt provides no start/stop times, consult the HDOT lane-closure map for whether work will affect morning commutes or occur overnight.
13. WAIMEA (Highway 190)
Waimea is listed under Highway 190 in the HDOT-consolidated list of 14 closures that Big Island Now circulated, indicating planned work near Kamuela and Parker Ranch corridors. The excerpt does not specify whether closures are centered on local intersections or longer stretches; ranchers, school transportation and delivery services in Waimea should check the online map for detailed routing and timings.
14. SOUTH KOHALA (Highway 190)
South Kohala appears as the final Highway 190 entry in Big Island Now’s reproduction of HDOT’s 14-item closure list for the week. South Kohala communities and resort-area traffic should plan for intermittent lane work and confirm whether closures touch major connectors to Kona; again, note HDOT’s advisory language and consult the map for the most current schedule.
Closing note (operational caveats and where to check) HDOT posted the consolidated list of 14 planned lane closures for Hawaiʻi Island for the week of Feb. 28–March 6, and Big Island Now republished those segment headers; as the site states, "Lane closure schedules can change at any time without notice. All projects are weather permitting." A map of lane closures can be found online — use it as the working reference for exact start/stop times, detours and emergency-repair updates (including Hawai‘i Belt Road mile posts 3–15) because the Big Island Now excerpt does not contain full times, mileposts or traffic-control details.
