Portions of Lower Michigan and Michigan Street to Close Monday, June 22

[Duluth, MN] Portions of Lower Michigan and Michigan Street will close beginning Monday, June 22, due to construction on one of the city’s sanitary lift stations. Sections of Lower Michigan and Michigan Street between 21st Avenue West and 23rd Avenue West will be closed to all traffic until the project’s completion in the fall.

Contractors will be installing a new force main and gravity sewer for a new lift station, which is being relocated to accommodate the Twin Ports Interchange Project. Throughout the project, only local traffic will be allowed between 20th Avenue West & 21st Avenue West, in addition to between 23rd Avenue West and 24th Avenue West. A detour route will be signed and put in place on Superior Street and 24th Avenue West during construction. Pedestrians using the Cross City Trail paralleling Michigan Street will be directed to use the detour route established on Superior Street and 20th Avenue West for portions of the project.
