The ramp will be temporarily closed nightly from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., beginning Sunday, May 11, and continuing through Tuesday, May 13, weather permitting.
During the closure, drivers needing to access northbound I-75 from the eastbound Selmon Expressway will be directed along a detour route.

Electronic message boards and directional signage will be placed to guide motorists through the area and along the detour route.

Drivers are advised to use caution while traveling through the work zone, be alert for construction workers, and allow for extra travel time due to the detour.
