Southfield (WWJ)  -- People going to Eastern Market for Flower Day will run into a freeway closure on I-75, but the Michigan Department of Transportation will open some lanes to help drivers headed to downtown Detroit.  

Northbound and southbound I-75 will be closed between I-94 and I-375 for on-going bridge construction.  

At 6 a.m. on Saturday, crews will open southbound I-75 for access to Flower Day weekend at Eastern Market. Southbound I-75 will have two lanes open from I-94 to Mack Ave, and only one lane open from Mack Ave to I-375. The southbound I-75 Chrysler Freeway ramp to southbound I-75 Fisher Freeway ramp will remain closed on Saturday. 

Northbound I-75 will remain closed on Saturday.  In addition, crews have re-opened the ramps from east and westbound I-94 to southbound I-75.
