Slow traffit was reported along Child Lane / Sunny Bank Road and B6119 Far Common Road as the tree was dealt with.
A spokesman for West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said they had been made aware of a tree in danger of falling onto the highway but had not been called out to attend to it.
It is understood tree surgeons were called in to take it down.
