Crater Road will be closed for a week starting at 6 a.m. Saturday, July 25, as a safety precaution amid an active 574-acre Crater Road fire nearby, County of Maui officials announced today.

The road will remain closed through 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3.

The Crater Road fire in Upper Kula remains 80 percent contained.

After portions of Crater Road were closed since July 10 due to the fire, the road was reopened at noon July 24, 2024, before the latest closure.

Safety concerns raised after the road was reopened led to the reclosure, according to the County of Maui Department of Fire and Public Safety. The department anticipates that work done during the weeklong closure will allow for the road to be reopened.
