Kenwood Ave Improvements Starting Week of July 31 

[Duluth, MN] - Northland Constructors Inc. is scheduled to start the street rehabilitation and construction project in the Kenwood neighborhood on Kenwood Avenue at the College Street intersection next week to improve road conditions, better manage traffic congestion and install new traffic control signals. The work to be performed will generally include the following:

• An asphalt mill and overlay of Kenwood Avenue from approximately 350 feet south to 350 feet north of the College Street Intersection.
• Curb & gutter and sidewalk replacement on the west side of Kenwood Avenue from approximately 350’ north of the College Street Intersection.
• The re-alignment of Lyons Street to convert Lyons to a one-way right turn only at the Kenwood Avenue intersection.
• Signal work to remove the current two stage signal system and convert the system to a standard signal configuration at the Kenwood Avenue and College Street intersection.

During the project, College Street and at least one lane of Kenwood Avenue in both directions will remain open to traffic at all times.  Lyons Street as it approaches Kenwood Ave will be closed to traffic during the project and will not reopen until the project is substantially complete. Residents on Lyons Street can use Artavia Street as an access route. The College of St. Scholastica entrance will be closed for reconstruction of the entry but should be open by September 1st but access to the campus is available using Benedictine Circle. It is anticipated the project will take approximately 4-5 weeks to complete.

If you have any questions, please contact Duncan Schwensohn with the City of Duluth at (218) 730-5107.
