It's great that it's reopened. I can't help but wonder, however, After going to the dump several times while it was being done, why they had to spend so much money, time and effort to doze it flat as a pancake when they could have just graded the new surface fairly flat and paved right over the new lava. They installed new roads in Kalapana Gardens (Vacation Lots) without digging down 50'feet to the old roads. Just saying.
There could be some drainage/flooding problems in the area. As I recall, there were some berms that might have been used to control drainage before the flow changed the landscape.
