City of Duluth First Street Road Construction Project to begin Thursday, May 2

The City of Duluth would like to inform motorists beginning Thursday, May 2, 2013 traffic on First Street from Mesaba Avenue to Piedmont Avenue (approximately 17^th Avenue West) will be detoured to allow only east bound traffic.  The west bound traffic lane and shoulder will be closed to facilitate the City of Duluth and Hanco Utilities’ replacement of a 8” natural gas main.  The intersections of Glen Place, and 11^th Avenue West will remain open for east bound traveling traffic on 1^st Street during this project.  The traffic detour is expected to remain in effect until the beginning of August with brief closures occasionally to allow for reconnection of utilities crossing the street.  After the utility replacements are completed later this summer, this segment of 1^st street is scheduled for a bituminous resurfacing where a separate road closure will be in effect for a shorter duration. 

We apologize to motorists for the inconvenience. For more information please contact Howard Smith, Project Engineer at 218-730-5092.
