According to the Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT), the previous Kona low storm damaged the shoulders and created major potholes in the area.

Crews will be resurfacing the section of Māmalahoa Highway from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the next five days, or until Sunday, March 29. During work hours, traffic will alternate through the open lane. Flaggers will be on duty and electronic message boards will be in place.

Work is weather-permitting. For weekly closures on Hawaiʻi Island, visit the Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation website.
