State highways are listed separately

This list is the county’s. Lane closures and roadwork on state highways, such as the Hawaiʻi Belt Road (Route 11 and Route 19), are posted by the Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation.

Where this list comes from

Each entry is read from the public road closure layer that Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense and the Department of Public Works maintain. It includes long-term closures, some of them years old, as well as new ones from storms, landslides and flooding. New closures from the last 7 days are marked NEW and also appear in the Big Island alerts feed.

A road missing from this list is not necessarily open. The county posts closures as crews confirm them. If you come across a hazard, call 911 when it is an emergency, or Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense at (808) 935-0031.
