Monday Commute on Durham Road Tricky

Motorists traveling in Durham this morning may need to make other travel plans.

Police have closed one lane of Roxboro Road from old Oxford Highway to Murray Street.

An overnight traffic accident that snapped a power line is responsible.

Officers say power in the area was knocked out for a short time.

Police hope to have the area open to traffic by 8 a.m. Until then, motorists will need to look for an alternate route.
