The Mauna Loa road construction contract has been awarded! The award notification has been posted on Sam.gov. A Notice to Proceed is pending. The construction period of performance has been set, January 1 to March 31, 2026. Once a construction schedule has been officially published, Hawaiian Electric will start work on their schedule for restoring utility power to the site.
This image, taken midday during a helicopter overflight of Mauna Loa's eruption on December 5, 2022, shows a lava flow branching after it cuts across the Mauna Loa Access Road. The large blocks in channel are called lava boats. These are termed lava balls or lava boats and form when portions of the fissure 3 cone or levees break away and are rafted down stream. As they move along in the channel, additional lava can cool to their surface to form accretionary lava balls. USGS image by L. Gallant.
