Saddle Road closure plans. Looks like the DOT wants to ensure no lava viewing as their plan is to close the road between the 8.8 and 21 mile markers.

According to a map supplied by the DOT, the department plans to close the highway between the 8.8- and 21-mile markers — the former located just beyond Kaumana in Hilo and the latter a few miles east of the Maunakea Access Road — should lava continue to approach the road. Barricades would be erected at both points, which would be manned by both DOT personnel and law enforcement.
