Pavement repair will temporarily close portions of

24th Ave West in Lincoln Park

[Duluth, MN] - The City of Duluth Public Works and Utilities department is working with Hovland Inc. on some concrete repair work that will commence June 30, 2014, requiring the closure of several blocks along 24th Ave West, specifically between West 1st and 3rd Streets and between West 4th and 6th Streets. Intersections in the work area will remain open. Access will be maintained to local businesses and residential properties.

Concrete repair is needed due to previous excavations that took place in order to repair watermain breaks. Temporary patching was intalled at the time. Work crews will be on site doing prep work on Friday, June 27 prior to the road closure. Motorists should watch for crews flagging traffic. The road will close to thru-traffic starting next Monday, June 30 with concrete removal followed by concrete paving, at which time the impacted blocks will be completely inaccessible to allow the concrete to cure. The public should expect the road to open to all traffic, weather permitting, on July 9, 2014.

Work crews will attempt to minimize impact to local residents as much as possible. Other motorists should follow signed detours.

The City thanks the public for their patience and cooperation as crews work to improve road conditions for all transit users.
