September 29, 2012 This was originally scheduled earlier, but it appears the project is moving forward Monday. This will complete the Lester River Bridge rehabilitation project that began a couple years ago.
September 26, 2012 Talk about frustrating! The bridge construction this summer has been a major inconvienance on anyone who travels back and forth between Duluth and Superior. This is an example of how bad it can really get.
September 24, 2012 More construction before the snow flies. This particular project is actually the completion of a project that began in 2010.
September 21, 2012 There have been so many motorcycle accidents in Minnesota this year. I witnessed and was the first on the accident scene of a young man that had a car pull out in front of him on 27th Avenue West. It was horrible to watch his body catapult over the hood of the car, a vision that replays over and over in my mind. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety says the number of fatalities continues to surge.
September 20, 2012 Flood repairs continue to be worked on across the Northland, and we've received word from the Minnesota Department of Transportation that another project will be in full swing today.
September 19, 2012 The tourists LOVE our North Shore Scenic Railroad. I wish that more locals would take time out of their busy lives to experience and enjoy the gem we have here in downtown Duluth. How lucky is our city to have "dining on the rails". Whether it's elegant, or pizza with the family. It's still a unique offering you don't have to travel miles to appreciate.
September 12, 2012 Just because summer is wrapping up, you didn't think construction was too, did you? We've received word from the Minnesota Department of Transportation about continued flood repair work that will impact Highway 61
August 30, 2012 Just when we got use to the way it was, it's changing, on a holiday weekend! We have already been warned that the road construction is already going to delay travel to our destination, now they're throwing a lane switch in on Friday, the day that everyone is trying to get out of Dodge! Grin and bare it, you've been forewarned. (pass it on to friends and family that might be traveling too)!
August 30, 2012 The Labor Day holiday can be stressful without road construction. Load the car, the truck, the camper, hook on the boat and get on the road. Inevitably, we're going to end up on the road, going the same direction, at the same time. That, coupled with the road construction is going to make for some behind-the-wheel frustration. Hopefully, these details will help you plan your travel to avoid congestion.
August 29, 2012 This is an intersection I've had first hand experience with, spending a large part of my life living in that area. I agree that the Kenwood Avenue and Arrowhead Road intersection needs to be improved as it can be a nightmare and dangerous.
August 28, 2012 I feel like I blog a different street detour, road construction or closure every day and yet, they keep coming. These particular repairs will start Wednesday, August 29 and continue until Saturday, September 15. Bear in mind that once the culvert is fixed, they are planning on resurfacing the roadway, that will delay completion of the project by another two weeks. Here's the scoop:
August 24, 2012 Almost everyone I know uses the I-35 corridor to get from one end of the city to the other in their daily travels. I know, even if I warn you (and I am included), you will forget and travel near the closure area. But, probably only once!! For those of you with a better memory than I, here are the days and lanes you should shy away from next Tuesday and Wednesday.
