Part of Pritchard Avenue is closed Tuesday due to a downed power line.

Chapel Hill Fire officials said just before noon Tuesday that the roadway was closed near Carr Street, just past the split of Columbia Street and Martin Luther Kind Junior Boulevard.

Motorists are being encouraged to avoid the area, if possible.

There is no timeline for when the roadway will be reopened.
