County Begins Reconstruction of Pohoiki Road

Work to rebuild Pohoiki Road (top) began in late August, marking another important milestone in the restoration of infrastructure destroyed by the 2018 Kīlauea eruption.

The project, contracted to Nan, Inc., involves the restoration of 4.5 miles of roadway and water lines that will return water service to Isaac Kepo‘okalani Hale Beach Park. It is expected to be complete in the second quarter of 2027.

These sessions will provide progress reports and allow the community to ask questions. Meeting details, including participation links, can be found here.

Combined, the two road and waterline restoration projects (Highway 137 and Pohoiki Road) will cost about $50 million, with 75% of the amount covered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The County is using recovery funds from the State to cover the 25% local match.
