It’s details about the road and the hot water pipe from the article are different to understand.
From photos it looks like the new road is a heavy layer of rock and gravel over a finger of the flow.
The hot water pipe was described as bypassing the lava flow, so perhaps it was routed around either the old pipe or the lava flow itself?
Without a photo with a wider view it’s hard to know exactly how large the Iceland flow was, but it appears it’s the tail end, right before the eruption ended. Which would make it somewhat different from the wider, deeper flows in Puna back in 2018.
