I-75 project progresses on lakes despite delays
Clearing of land by Jane L. Marshall and Associates faces six week setback due to wet low areas. Trenches are dug for drainage pipes up to 72 inches.

Civil Defense and local officials stress need for eastward roads to aid evacuation and growth planning. Chamber of Commerce forms impact study committee to assess I-75 effects and access routes.
