Hawaii County Reconstructing Chain of Craters Road
117th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment (Hawaii)
Nov. 5, 2014 | 2:38
The Hawaii County has begun reconstructing Chain of Craters Road on the Big Island of Hawaii. The road is located in Kalapana, and had been overtaken by Kīlauea's ongoing Puʻu ʻŌʻō eruption (which is also the cause of the current Puna lava flow). The first eruption which covered Kalapana occurred in 1983 and can be roughly divided into five time periods, with the most recent ending in December 2012. The recovered road would give residents of Pahoa another route to Hilo in case the Puna lava flow crosses Highway 130. The new route from Pahoa to Hilo via Chain of Craters Road is approximately 70 miles compared to the approximate and current 20 mile drive.
