Military convoy scheduled on Big Island roads

U.S. Military convoys are scheduled to take place later this month between Pōhakuloa Training Area and Kawaihae Pier.

The military vehicles will be on the road on Aug. 17 starting at 11 a.m. with the convoy traveling from the pier to the training area. The convoy will return to the pier the first week of September.

Convoy leaders will continually assess conditions and conduct pull-over procedures on permissible straight-way sections of the road to allow residents the ability to bypass the convoy and reduce backed-up traffic.
