Harbor Drive by the DECC to close June 7-12 for crane installation

[Duluth, MN] – The City of Duluth is working with Veit on the seawall restoration project in Canal Park. In order to get access to the seawall section near the Minnesota Slip Bridge (also known as the Blue Bridge), Veit will be closing off Harbor Drive to through traffic starting at 8 am tomorrow, June 7 through Tuesday June 12^th. This is necessary to position the crane and other equipment as close as possible to repair that section of the seawall.  

The road closure will extend from just past the Marcus movie theater entrance to the Blue Bridge. Pedestrian access is still provided from the movie theater around the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC) and across the Blue Bridge. Vista Fleet loading areas will not be impacted and will operate as it currently does. Veit will be accommodating deliveries and work vehicles to the DECC, but no public traffic will be allowed. 

In preparation for Grandma’s Marathon weekend, Veit will demobilize equipment at the end of the day on June 12 and spend the following day preparing the area for the weekend activities. Work will temporarily cease on the slip from Wednesday June 13^th through Sunday June 17^th. 

The public should use the designated walkways for safe access to activities, the DECC and Vista boarding.

The public can anticipate additional future closures of Harbor Drive as crews continue their work on the section of the seawall closest to the Minnesota Slip Bridge. The project is expected to be fully completed by fall.
