The tree across Maroondah Highway has been removed.
The Healesville SES unit received a call to attend to a fallen pine tree at 8am on Tuesday, morning.
Two lanes had been cleared by the unit when VicRoads’ contractor arrived later at 10.30am.
A spokesperson for the unit said, “We were happy to hand it over to VicRoads to complete the job.”
“Thanks Victoria Police for redirecting traffic via Maxwells Road and thanks to our community for their patience,” they said.
The Healesville SES prompts drivers to watch out for fallen trees, as the wet weather loosens root soil.
