Saddle Road, also known as Hwy 200, facilitates travel between the west and east sides of the Big Island of Hawaii, providing easy access between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. This road has undergone significant transformation in recent years, including extensive repaving and the addition of the new Daniel K Inouye Highway, which improves travel times and enhances safety.
