If you're driving next week, please take into account a change in traffic patterns on Hwy 130 along the top of HPP, due to the planned and fascinatingly designated Geotechnical Examinations:

Is the jury still deadlocked? The odds that natural climate variability can account for the magnitude of the temperature changes over the course of the satellite record are roughly five in a million, researchers report. - Science, July 19, 2018.

Let's not inconvenience the Highway Dept by doing this at night. let's just make every commuter get up a half hour earlier and sit in stopped traffic on the way to and from Hilo.
Or if the Highway Dept is scared of the dark, then start at 9am until 3pm.
What happened to 'Government for the people?'
I expect the usual boondoggle, 3 people watching for every one working. Your Highway taxes at work.

They should have thought of that before they moved there.

how were "they" supposed to think of this?
Easy: always assume that neither County nor State have a plan, then expect the most inconvenient possible last-minute workaround for the lack of planning. When in doubt, consider whether the unions would even allow work to be performed under a given set of conditions.
In this case: no plan for growth, so "urgent need" for contraflow, which work cannot be performed at "inconvenient" times (nights, weekends).
Rural Hawaii is really just for retirement. Don't try to get anything done here.

Anyone notice any traffic issues today?

I don't commute at the same time most people do, but certainly drive on 130 from Kaloli Drive onto 130 between the hours of 7 am and 5 pm, and nothing has happened.
So, what's actually happening, if anything?
