Motorists are warned that beginning today through Friday, portions of Lusitana Street behind the Queen’s Medical Center may be closed intermittently to help with the removal of two trees.

A city tree trimming crew will remove two Royal Poinciana trees from Lusitana Street. Arborists from the city’s division of urban forestry have determined the trees must be removed to complete necessary sidewalk repair work. The tree roots cannot be pruned without compromising the health and structural stability of the trees. Two replacement trees will be planted once the sidewalk repair is completed.

The work is expected to take three days to complete. Intermittent lane closures will be required, but most of the work will be conducted in the shoulder lane.
