Water main upgrade on Arrowhead Road near completion;
Campus Connector Trail project advances
[Duluth, MN] - The water main upgrade project on Arrowhead Road and Kenwood Ave is near completion and will commence street restoration on Monday. Until paving is complete, the east bound lane is still closed. Paving should be completed late Monday afternoon and the road will fully reopen to traffic then. The DTA bus schedule can be viewed at www.duluthtransit.com
On College Street, the Campus Connector Trail, a new 10 foot multi-purpose non-motorized trail that crosses through several neighborhoods and educational campuses will eventually connect to the Lakewalk Trail, has been under construction since last month. The project is progressing with some alterations to motor vehicle access during the week of June 13, 2016. The contractor working on the project is planning to shut down westbound traffic on College Street, between Junction Ave and Kenwood Ave, on Tuesday and Wednesday (June 14-15) to install curb and gutter using large scale machinery. The westbound lane will be closed while crews are working but will re-open to traffic overnight. The eastbound lane will be open, but motorists may experience delays during rush hour and when concrete trucks deliver material to the work site. The entire project is anticipated to be complete in late July.
Motorists headed west towards the Kenwood Ave and College Street intersection should consider taking Woodland Ave north, go west on Arrowhead Road then head south on Kenwood Ave.
