HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – To accommodate growing crowds to see Mauna Loa’s fiery show, a safe public viewing area was opened Thursday along Old Saddle Road. Officials are hoping the viewing area addresses growing concern about congestion on Daniel K. Inouye Highway.“Hopefully relieving that traffic congestion and relieving some of the safety issues and concerns that we have,” said Talmadge Magno of the Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency.
