Do you dig it out or just go over top with new road it's gotta be pretty effed up underneath all that, before chiseling through it and clearing it off, and where do you go with the slag if you do dig it out? Do you treat it like snow?
Bro that's the new Iceland, anything underneath has been Pompeii'd
This is worse than Pompeii. The ancient Roman city wasn't buried under lava, but under ash, rock and boulders. While that is still very deadly, it isn't nearly as destructive as lava. That's why we can still experience Pompeii architecture, art and culture. Excavating this road, covered in solidified lava, is extremely difficult and costly. Just go over it, once it's cooled.
'cool' is relative - the have to water the roads they build over the top to stop them melting!
Missed opportunity. We could have messed with the future.
They did that in Hawaii decades ago when Kīlauea covered Chain of Craters road and others.
Kīlauea said “Fuck that” and covered the roads again and again, along with entire neighborhoods. The Hawaiians just let it all go back to nature now. You can drive roughly 10 miles of Chain of Craters Road now, which is in Volcanoes National Park, until it ends very much like the road in this picture.
Speaking of Kīlauea, you might be interested in reading about Jacks Lava House which survived for years as the entire neighborhood around it was reclaimed by the volcano. It was eventually reclaimed by Kīlauea as well about a decade ago.
I was feeling really bad for the guy thinking he was now homeless, because there would've been no way to sell the home prior being in the location it was, until I read the last lines of him living at his second home while he figures out what to do. Oh gee, I don't know. How about, live in your spare home? For fucks sake "figuring out what to do". Collect any reimbursement and move on in your extra house as if nothing happened. Rich motherfucker. There are few enough houses available in Hawaii without someone taking up multiple. No wonder Hawaiians are sick of haoli.
My rants aside though neat links! Thanks for posting them!

And Mark Fuckerberg has purchased like half of one of the entire islands.
I've yet to hear anything about him that I liked. Soulless robot.
My understanding is that the lava house became an attraction more than a personal home. Folks would hike in there to stay a few days, B&B style, to get married there, etc.
Just paint a yellow line and call it a day.
Breathe, son.
Looks like they would need to bulldoze it level and I assume add some fill dirt to even out the grade, I don't know how many winters such a road would last though.
Mother nature is scary AF

You sell it as decorative lava rock.
