Hawaii Governor Josh Green announced that recent storms and flooding have caused approximately $1 billion in damage to the state's infrastructure, with roads bearing significant impact from the severe weather events.

The governor stated that the full scope of damages to roads and other critical infrastructure from the rain and flooding throughout the state remains under assessment. Officials are continuing to evaluate the extent of the destruction caused by the weather system that impacted Hawaii.

The $1 billion damage estimate represents a preliminary assessment as state officials work to catalog the full impact of the storms across Hawaii's infrastructure network. Roads appear to have sustained substantial damage from the flooding and heavy rainfall that swept through the state.

State authorities are expected to conduct comprehensive evaluations of the damaged infrastructure to determine repair costs and timelines. The assessment process will likely continue as officials work to fully understand the scope of reconstruction needed following the severe weather events.
