#rockfalls

Work to prevent rockfalls along Waipiʻo Valley Road on Hawaiʻi Island will begin on May 22 with the road to be closed to all traffic when construction is underway.

The lawsuit says Waipiʻo Valley Shuttle had operated almost uninterrupted since the late 1960s until the County’s “illegal actions” closed the access road.

To protest Hawaiʻi County’s updated rules for the Waipi’o Valley road, a road block is planned by residents, farmers and others at the Waipi’o Lookout on Sept. 19 at 8 a.m.
