Portion of Michigan Street to be closed due to electrical work

Michigan Street between 5^th Ave W and 6^th Ave W in downtown Duluth will be closed to traffic beginning at 7 a.m. Monday, Oct. 5, so Minnesota Power can perform electrical work related to the underground feeder lines that serve the Canal Park area.

Minnesota Power expects the work to be completed by Friday, October 30th. During the closure, 6^th Ave W between Michigan Street and Superior Street will temporarily become a two-way street, and traffic will be re-routed to Superior Street. In order to accommodate the two-way traffic, temporary four-way stop signs will be installed at 6^th Ave W & Superior Street. Sidewalks will remain open to pedestrians to the Depot, the adjacent Depot parking lot, and the Duluth Public Library. 

For phase 2 and 3 of the project, 5^th Ave W will be closed on the weekends and traffic will be directed to the signed detour on Railroad Street.

If you would like more information on this project or to schedule an interview, please contact Amy Rutledge with MN Power at 218-723-7400.
