For many of us, our summer will be inconvenienced with the latest road construction project scheduled to start today on Tower Avenue in Superior.
Just about every time we have snowy and windy conditions here in the Twin Ports, someone inevitably blurts out, "they are going to close the bridges!" And all of us who work across the bridge (Duluth or Superior side) start to panic we won't make it home. The frustrating part of this whole situation is that 99% of the time, the bridges don't close, but misinformation is spread anyway by rumors. Here's where you can go to find out for yourself.
Hard to believe that the Christmas City Of The North Parade is coming up on Friday already. The parade will take the same downtown Duluth route it's taken the past several years, which will lead to some changes in traffic and bus routes.
If you travel through downtown Duluth in the morning hours, be prepared for a small section to be closed on Wednesday morning.
Soon Highway 53 will need to be rerouted in Virginia due to a termination of easement rights, which will have a big impact on travelers. Don't miss this opportunity to see where the new route will be
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.
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.
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.
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.
Work will begin on June 6th on the Highway 210 bridge over the St. Louis River on June 6th. The project will extend the life of the bridge for about another 50 years, according to the MN Department Of Transportation.
It's been a little frustrating, hasn't it? A lot of us were really hopeful that last year the I-35 Mega Project was done. 2 years of avoiding I-35, and using alternate routes was finally over, right? Wrong. Not quite yet. According to the MN Dot website, it should be completed by June. To add to the frustration, work has begun on the Blatnik Bridge.
