- Peachtree Street between Ponce De Leon Avenue and Third Street from 1 a.m. Feb. 1 through 5 p.m. Feb. 3.
- One southbound lane on Northside Drive will be closed Jan. 26 -Feb. 2 so contractors can build a security fence surrounding the perimeter of Mercedes-Benz Stadium in preparation for the game.

- After game day, a southbound lane on Northside Drive will be closed until Feb. 7 while contractors break down and remove the security fence. Both southbound lanes will also close each night.
