-          Various lane closures on north and southbound I-75.  Single lane closures will be permitted from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., followed by double lane closures from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.  As stadium activities are planned this week, the southbound closures will begin one hour after the posted start of the event and northbound closures will begin one hour after the posted end of the event.
