The UNC Visitors Center, located at 134 East Franklin Street in downtown Chapel Hill, was evacuated Wednesday afternoon due to a gas leak. The Chapel Hill Fire Department initially responded to a report of the leak at 2:54 p.m., then began evacuating the building upon its arrival.
According to a release from the Town of Chapel Hill, the leak has been stopped and firefighters expect to be able to let people return to the building soon. During the leak, eastbound lanes on East Franklin Street were briefly closed but have since reopened. Traffic patterns on Franklin Street have returned to normal.
The UNC Visitors Center first opened its doors on Franklin Street in early 2020. It was previously located in Morehead Planetarium, but moved out due to planned renovations.
