One of the main highways that connects Florida to the rest of the country is in danger of being closed due to flooding caused by Hurricane Irma.
The Santa Fe River in north central Florida that runs under Interstate 75 has rapidly risen within the past two days, according to Florida transportation officials. Officials say the water will likely rise further in the coming days.
The bridge that crosses the river is just north of Gainesville, the home to the University of Florida. If the highway is closed it would require major detours for those trying to return to the state after evacuating due to Irma.
Tennessee is scheduled to play UF this weekend in Gainesville meaning it could cause problems for those trying to attend the game.
