Not a problem since County doesn't intend to rebuild the roads.
The County is rebuilding a minimum of connecting roads, plus Lighthouse Road which doesn't connect with anything. The lighthouse hasn't worked for years, so what's the access provide? Oh look, Cape Kumukahi the (former?) easternmost point in Hawaii?
For more than two years, residents in lower Puna anxiously awaited word from Hawaii County confirming what roads were scheduled for restoration throughout the communities devastated by the 2018 Kilauea eruption.
In June, they finally got their answer: The county would restore Pohoiki Road, stretches of Leilani Avenue, Lighthouse Road and Highway 137 — and no others.
“The funny thing is, (Hawaiian Electric) is fine with hooking us up to power again,” McArthur said. “We can have power, we can have water, but no roads.”
