Expanding on Obie's post above about opening Old Saddle Road for lava viewing:
… drivers can enter the Old Saddle Road directly across from the Gilbert Kahele Recreation Area. From there, drivers can travel the 4.5-mile stretch of road until it rejoins with the Daniel K. Inouye Highway just before Puʻuhuluhulu near the Maunakea Access Road.
The route is one-way only, and parking will only be allowed on the right side of the road. Only passenger vehicles will be permitted into the route.
No vehicles are allowed to remain on the route for more than 90 minutes. Signage, barricades and traffic control officers will be on the scene.

Also, from the same article:
Hon said that, now that the lava is on flat ground, it will advance sporadically and unpredictably. At its current pace, it could reach the highway in a week, but Hon said it could easily take longer depending on how the lava spreads.
“We don’t know when or even if it will reach the highway at this point,” Hon said, adding that the lava could end up blocking its own path toward the highway.
