The westbound lane of Crater Rim Drive, fronting Steam Vents, will be closed for up to 10 weeks while crews replace a deteriorated water main, beginning Monday, according to a written statement from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Traffic controllers will alternate traffic flow through the single open lane from 7 a.m. -5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Wait times to pass the construction area should not exceed 15 minutes.
Both lanes will be open to traffic if there is no active construction.
The project will replace approximately 3,000 feet of failing pipe that supplies water to Jaggar Museum and the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.
