Summary: An algorithm that constructs an optimal height-restricted binary tree for a set of n weights in \(O(n^{3/2} L \log^{1/2} n)\) time, where L is the maximum permitted height, is presented. This is an improvement over the fastest previously known algorithm, which requires O(n 2 L) time. The algorithm is a hybrid, combining a technique by \textit{T. C. Hu} and \textit{K. C. Tan} [SIAM Appl. Math. 22, 225-234 (1972; Zbl 0239.94009)] with a technique by \textit{M. R. Garey} [SIAM J. Comput. 3, 101-110 (1974; Zbl 0288.68058)].
