I've lived in Puna since the last century. I've watched proposals for an alternate route come and go like car thieves at the Hilo cellblock. So imagine my delight as a fan of sarcastic quotation marks when the Tribune Herald dropped this headline:
Study to identify alternate route out of Puna could be funded ‘soon’
Here's a peak behind the paywall curtain:
In 2022, the state Legislature approved a $1 million allocation to Hawaii County to conduct site surveys to determine a suitable location for a Puna Makai Alternate Route, a second major road in and out of Puna that would divert some of the district’s heavy traffic away from Highway 130, currently the only main road connecting the area to Hilo.
County Public Works Director Steve Pause briefly mentioned during a September town hall event in Puna that new developments in the PMAR project could be coming in the near future, and confirmed to the Tribune-Herald on Friday that the state is now in the final stages of transferring the money for the site surveys to the county.

Sit back and enjoy the ride. (as long as your on the sofa in your living room reading about yet another study, and not stuck in your car on the way to Hilo)
