August 20, 2012 A travel update regarding work being done on the Blatnik Bridge. Travelers have been only able to travel from Duluth to Superior on the south bound lanes, but soon there will be a switch as those lanes close and the north bound lanes open.
August 13, 2012 The road construction in the Northland continues and so does the wait in long lines of traffic. This one will affect the North bound traffic of Interstate 35. If that affects YOU, you may want to find an alternate route until Thursday.
August 6, 2012 The flood repairs continue across the area and the Minnesota Department Of Transportation has announced closure on southbound highway 61 / London Road beginning Wednesday August 8th. Their press release states that a large culvert beneath Highway 61/London Road was heavily damaged during the June storm and the road adjacent to it was undermined.
August 6, 2012 I have some friends coming up to visit Duluth at the end of the month. They asked me about where to stay, and what to see in the Northland. I ended up putting together a list of must see places in Duluth. See if you agree:
August 1, 2012 The exciting construction continues to progress at the Duluth International Airport. Starting today, you will go to a different location to drop off or pick up passengers, catch the bus or a taxi, or pick up a rental car.

July 3, 2012 Just what we need, more rain. Our stormy night has a lead to another flash flood warning for areas in the Northland and we're advised to stay off the streets within the warning area.
Our partners at the Northland's News Center are reporting a flash flood warning is in effect until 8:30AM for Aitkin, Carlton, Douglas, Crow Wing, NE Burnett, N Pine and N Washburn Counties.
July 2, 2012 The day I turned 16, I took my driver's license test. From the day onward, I was now forever hooked to a car. I got my first job so I could pay the high insurance cost just for me to drive. I was now paying for gas, vehicle maintenance, and everything else in between. A lot of the youth nowadays don't want to do that.
June 26, 2012 For many, a long road to recovery remains in place following Northland flooding. While it is a daunting task, each day can bring a little progress. We received word from The Minnesota Department Of Transportation that more roads that had been closed are becoming passable once again. According to their press release:
Four highways remain closed in Northeastern Minnesota after last week’s storm that caused massive flooding. Three of the four closed highways have short detours in place.
June 26, 2012 A main artery just outside of Duluth remains closed until road crews can repair the road after the massive flooding last week.
