Highway 132 was not a path or a trail.
It was realigned after the 1955 earthquake.
Here's a statement from Lono Lyman :
"LONO LYMAN: “The reality is that putting a road back in is not a
quick and easy thing. Lava is pretty darn hot. Once it solidifies,
unfortunately, its a good insulator. Looking at the documentation
for the realignment of 132, which I did just yesterday, the
surveys were done in 1962. But don’t be misled by that. The
surveys were to realign it through the 1955 lava flow. The
land transfers occurred in 1980. I’m not sure if the alignment
occurred before or after that.”
There are thousands of acres of farmland and hundreds of houses involved.
