The Henry Street and Palani Road intersection reopens today, offering Kona drivers some relief. However, work continues in the area.

The Hawaii County Department of Public Works said Wednesday that the intersection will resume normal operations today. Motorists can now access Palani Road via Henry Street and vice versa. The intersection had been restricted while Nan Inc. crews completed road work in the area.

While the intersection is now open, the county cautioned motorists that crews will still be in the area for several weeks grinding and striping the road and installing loop traffic detectors. Lane closures are not anticipated, but may be required.

Crews will be in the area from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, according to the county.
