Chapel Hill Transit will detour several lines through Friday afternoon, as a scheduled protest is expected to march through Carrboro and Chapel Hill.

The Town of Chapel Hill shared a release from the transit system Thursday evening with the various detours. The D and U routes will be detoured from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m., while the G, J and NS routes may also be delayed due to the rolling street closures expected with the Black Lives Matter event.

Here are the detours shared for Chapel Hill Transit routes, which are the same as they were from the previous week’s protest:
