Traffic Advisory - Duluth Air Show
The Duluth Air Show opens Saturday August 23 and goes through Sunday August 24. Gates are open 9am and close 6pm.
Entrances to General Event Parking Lots are on Airbase Road, which is accessible from Stebner Road, Swan Lake Road, or Arrowhead Road.
Entrance to the VIP Lot is from Cirrus Drive off of Miller Trunk Hwy 53.
Traffic exiting the event becomes very heavy between 5pm-7pm. During these times emphasis is placed on exiting traffic flow and vehicle flow into the event area is limited.
General Northbound traffic on Haines road will be instructed to turn East on Arrowhead Road during event breakup, with the exception of motorists needing to get to the Duluth International Airport. There will be one northbound lane of Haines Road reserved for vehicles needing assistance crossing Arrowhead Road to access the Airport. Duluth Police Officers will be at that corner to assist.
Grinden Drive along the Duluth International Airport will be posted "No Stopping". That roadway will be patrolled and vehicles in violation will be tagged.
Motorists in the area of the Air Show should slow down, drive with care, and watch for signs, barricades, pedestrians, and Police Officers directing traffic.
Some parking in the Air Show Lot has been reduced because of wet conditions. Carpooling is strongly recommended. Parking will be allowed in the MILLER HILL MALL lot and free shuttle buses will run continuously to and from the Duluth Air Show. Look for the posted "Air Show Shuttle Bus" signs in the MILLER MALL lot for bus stop locations.
If you have any questions call Duluth Police Officer Bill Stovern at 218-730-5678.
