Roads washed out by Lala are open again in Ka'u, good news for drivers who have been cut off from parts of the Big Island.

• State crews finished repairs on the sections of Mamalahoa Highway that Lala left impassable.
• Over 100,000 pounds of debris were pulled from roads and waterways.
• Single lane closures will stay in place for the next few weeks while crews finish striping, guard rails, and shoulder work.
• Drivers are being told to slow down between Ka'u and Alea.

Outlook: The highway should be back to normal once the finishing work wraps up in the coming weeks.
