I-75 Construction Lane Closures (Jan. 25-Feb. 1)

Here's what you need to know if you use Interstate-75 near Temple Terrace.

Cynics might say it would be news when traffic on Interstate-75 was not disrupted.

But the Florida Department of Transportation has just released the schedule of the latest lane closures, and Patch readers might find the information helpful.

The closures are a necessary inconvenience thanks to a $95 million, 11.4-mile I-75 widening project between Fowler Avenue and State Road 56.
