May 8, 2012 Hang on! This is going to be a L O N G one!
The northbound lanes of I-535 at the Blatnik Bridge will close next Monday and remain closed until mid-summer!!! You'll want to find an alternative route, and remember to use it. May I suggest, the Bong Bridge?
May 8, 2012 More road construction projects are starting every day, and May is a month where a lot of them begin. The MN DOT has announced that Highway 210 will be single lane in each direction beginning May 10th -May 24th between Cromwell and Wright
May 5, 2012 Why let I35 have all the fun? As summer in the Northland approaches, the road repairs and construction are right there waiting. I just received word that projects to build a new bridge over Highway 53 at Highway 33 and repair the northbound Highway 53 bridge over the Cloquet River in Independence begin May 8.
From the press release, the following lane restrictions are scheduled:
May 3, 2012 There are 7 new bright orange signs like the one to the left, that will catch your eye on I-35 between Hinckley and Duluth. The signs are designed to give you an estimate of how long it will take for you to travel between the two cities. It will take the guess work and hopefully, frustration out of your summer travels.
May 3, 2012 More and more bikes are hitting the road as the spring weather continues to warm up. That's why May Is "Motorcycle Awareness Month", and the NHTSA has provided tips for both motorists and motorcyclists to stay safe and share the road.
April 24, 2012 I felt such a connection to this woman. I only saw excerpts of this letter at first, but as a mother, I was eager to read on and see how the situation was handled. I can't imagine having to watch your child be treated like this, show fear or cry and only be able to stand several feet away and not be able to hold her/him. I know I would have disobeyed the TSA officer L O N G before this woman did. Brace yourself for the compassion you're about to feel.
April 24, 2012 Whether you're a tourist or a native of the area, a ride on one of the Vista Fleet boats is a MUST! For me, preferably a dinner cruise, but there are many different cruises available to fit everyone's taste and style. Now, with the return of the Vista Star, there will be even more possibilities!
April 13, 2012 It's been a warmer than average spring, and that means that summer biodiesel blends are coming back to the pumps. Did you know that there is a biodiesel headquarters right here in the Northland?
April 9, 2012 I know, I know! They said it was done, completed, OVER! Brace yourself, the I-35 Mega Projects will begin again tomorrow and is expected to last through the end of June. Making it difficult for Grandma's Marathoners to get into town again this year!
April 2, 2012 Sounds crazy to me, but it will definitely be an adventure. Meet Kris McNeal and Zach Chase, two guys who met at UMD and have become adventure bicyclists. They plan to leave on May 1st and bicycle around the entire great lakes
March 29, 2012 I'm giving you plenty of heads up to plan your family adventure. National Park Week is slated to run from April 21-29. Throughout the Country, visitors can explore 84 million acres of the world's most spectacular scenery for FREE!
