The land on Kauai is still "there" and relatively stable and and relatively flat which means road building has been somewhat easy.
The lava affected land in Puna is gone, covered with up to 100 feet or more of hard rock. The volcano created miles of huge uneven hills. The area is unrecognizable even to long time residents. Familiar landmarks have disappeared to say nothing of roads that people used to drive on.
I don't see how the two disasters can be compared. Even the damage on Kauai from Iniki pales in comparison..
