“Railroad Avenue is prepped, it’s ready for when we need it,” said Hawaii County Civil Defense administrator Talmadge Magno. “Yes, the gates are still up, because we don’t want people driving on it and then wearing it out.
If Nanawale needs access to get to Hawaiian Beaches and further on, that road will be open.”

Hawaii County Public Works and State Department of Transportation officials also gave updates on the highways in and out of the impacted area.
