Norway and Iraq will face each other in a World Cup match at Boston Stadium in Foxboro, Tuesday evening. The 6 p.m. game will be the first during the weekday rush hour commute and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is warning drivers to be prepared.

The state is closing some of the busiest streets near South Station in Boston to handle the crowds.

Summer Street from Dorchester Avenue to Purchase Street will be closed until 5:30 p.m., along with a part of Essex Street. Atlantic Avenue, which runs parallel to South Station, will have parking restrictions. The off-ramp to Interstate 93 south at exit 16A will also be closed.
