East sidewalk under the Aerial Lift Bridge has closed due to falling snow and ice

[Duluth, MN] As a result of last night’s snowstorm, the east sidewalk directly beneath the Aerial Lift Bridge has closed until further notice. Snow and ice from the storm packed the east-facing side of the bridge. A combination of warm temperatures and wind has loosened the ice and snow, causing it to fall from the structure onto the sidewalk. The west sidewalk remains open and is safe to cross.

“While the impacts from last night's storm are not as bad as the 2019 blizzard, the snow and ice pack is something that we are watching,” said Dave Campbell, Aerial Lift Bridge supervisor. “Due to falling ice, we are asking the public to use extreme caution when crossing the bridge.”

The east sidewalk will reopen as soon as the ice and snow has melted.
