SENATOR LORRAINE R. INOUYE THANKS GOVERNOR FOR RELEASING $290,000 TO FINANCE THE DESIGN OF VOLCANO ROAD NORTHBOUND ACCELERATION LANE NEAR MAMAKI STREET

HILO, HAWAIʻI -- Senator Lorraine R. Inouye (District 1 – Hilo, Paukaʻa, Papaʻikou, Pepeʻekeo) announced that Governor Josh Green has released $290,000 in Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funding to finance the design of a northbound acceleration lane on Volcano Road in the vicinity of Mamaki Street on the island of Hawaiʻi.

The project is intended to improve traffic flow and enhance roadway safety in a heavily traveled area serving East Hawaiʻi residents and commuters.

“I would like to thank Governor Green for financing the design of this important infrastructure improvement,” said Senator Inouye. “This project will help address traffic concerns and support safer, more efficient travel for our community.”

Investments in public infrastructure like this help meet the everyday needs of our communities, improving safety and mobility for kūpuna, keiki, and families across Hawaiʻi who rely on these roads each day.
