Tree removal expected to disrupt traffic

Motorists traveling on Hana Highway in Hana town are advised that there will be intermittent stops of about 15 to 20 minutes for tree removal Monday to Thursday, weather permitting, the county announced.

The tree removal will involve five Cook pine and 11 ironwood trees on county-maintained areas along Hana Highway. The trees are decaying and are at risk of falling.

The work will focus along Hana Highway, just south of Mill Place and Haneoo Road, near Hasegawa General Store.

Crews will need to close the road for about 15 to 20

minutes at a time to ensure that trees are removed safely. Whenever possible, one lane will be opened to restore the flow of traffic.

Replacement trees will be planted where appropriate.

For more information, call county Arborist David Sakoda at 270-7952.
