Beginning today, the entrance station at Volcanoes National Park will be limited to one lane and booth for approximately two weeks to allow for work on Phase One of the Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park Disaster Recovery Project and traffic safety and infrastructure upgrades. Construction will begin on the administrative lane at the entrance station to improve safety and traffic flow

The latest project updates include establishing a new roundabout west of the entrance station. Further coordination will be conducted if a longer closure of the lane is necessary. . The current phase will concentrate on the right entrance lane along Crater Rim Drive, encompassing tasks such as curb removal, clearing and grubbing the shoulder for the new administrative lane, and grading the shoulder.

Park visitors and tour operators should anticipate delays and potential congestion at the entrance station during this period.
