Downed tree closes lane part of Highway 19 on Big Island

Hawaii island police warned motorists today to use caution near Highway 19 north of Honokaa near the 45 mile marker because crews were working to remove a downed tree.

The tree initially blocked both lanes of the highway at about 12:45 p.m., but police opened up one lane at 1:15 p.m.

Police were continuing to direct traffic in the area.

Kapuna Road to Old Mamalahoa Highway is available as an alternate route, the Hawaii County Civil Defense said.
