A Chapel Hill road is open again after being closed for part of Friday due to a fallen tree and scattered branches across the area.
The Chapel Hill Police Department shared an alert shortly after 10:30 a.m. on Friday saying a tree was blocking part of Umstead Road near Bradley Road, leading the town to close the road until the debris was cleared. Both the road and an affected stretch of Bolin Creek Trail reopened in the 1 p.m. hour, according to the town.
As shown in a photo from police, the tree uprooted from the other side of Bolin Creek and fell across both the water and part of the paved Bolin Creek Trail.
