Portions of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard will be closed during the day on Wednesday due to OWASA repairs.

Officials say the outer northbound lane, center turn lane and inner southbound lane will be closed from nine o’clock Wednesday morning until four o’clock in the afternoon due to work on the water system.

The closure will occur south of Hillsborough Street and Umstead Drive.

One lane in each direction will remain open during the repairs, according to a release.

Chapel Hill Transit says this work will force the closure of the bus stop near the Root Cellar Café. Residents using that bus are asked to use a temporary bus stop that will be located near the Bolin Creek Trail entrance on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
