In Hawaii, a realignment of road 132 to the bulldozer has been underway for 8 days

The eruption of Kilauea volcano in 2018 had indeed greatly changed the landscape and traffic in the East Rift Zone. The clearing of this road will give many residents access to their properties blocked by the lava flow. This provides great relief to these residents, many of whom have been unable to access their property since June 2018. The public outcry related to relief funds
to the victims made this work possible.
