A fallen fir tree was slowing southbound traffic on Highway 305 one-quarter mile north of the High School Road intersection shortly before 1 p.m. Friday.

The 80-foot tree was nearly blocking the southbound lane of the highway, and was approximately 8 feet off the surface of the roadway.

Emergency crews have not yet arrived to remove the tree. Removal of the tree is expected to cause traffic delays in both directions on Highway 305.
