Crews start repairs along Chester Park Drive

[Duluth, MN] - The Northland Flash Flood caused significant erosion along the embankments of Chester Park Drive leading up to Chester Park. Crews are working on soil stabilization today and will be using specialized equipment that drives 20 foot rods into the side of the hill. The rods and soil are then covered with a mesh followed by a synthetic retaining wall system.

This work will take several days to finish and will also create a booming sound. Residents should not be alarmed. Additional soil stabilization work is planned for Skyline Parkway near the entrance to Chester Park next week.
