The Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) shift traffic at the intersection of Keaau-Pahoa Road (Route 130) and Ainaloa Boulevard beginning Monday, July 20 to continue installation of a compact roundabout and related improvements. The temporary Ainaloa Boulevard lanes will shift north toward Hilo, while Route 130 will remain in the same temporary two-lane position.

Portable message boards are currently positioned in both the inbound and outbound direction on Keaau-Pahoa Road to alert motorists of the new traffic pattern. The shift will be in place 24-hours a day, seven days a week to allow for paving and restriping work, street lighting installation, and other multimodal enhancements. All work is weather permitting.
