Hawai‘i County Civil Defense reports all of Māmalahoa Highway (Highway 19) in and near Waimea is now open.

Portions of the roadway were closed earlier today (Friday, Feb. 10) between Honoka‘a and Waimea because of a disabled fuel tanker and near Napa Auto Parts in Waimea because of damaged utility lines.

Civil Defense also reported that Hawaiian Electric is conducting emergency repair utility work from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. today in North Kohala. Residents and businesses in the area can expect to be without power during that timeframe.
