2nd Street construction project to begin on April 26

[Duluth, MN] A portion of 2nd Street will be undergoing a complete roadway reconstruction this construction season to accommodate for updated utilities, storm sewer, and updated heating system. Second Street between 4th Avenue East and 9th Avenue East will be included in this work and have varying start and completion times.

Beginning Monday, April 26, Second Street from 4th Avenue East to 5th Avenue West will close to vehicular traffic. Then on Monday, May 3, Second Street East of 6th Avenue East through 9th Avenue East will close to vehicular traffic.

“This work will connect the steam plant and St. Luke’s Building A, providing them with hot water,” said Duncan Schwensohn, Senior Engineer with the City of Duluth. “We understand that Second Street is a popular option for residents and visitors to use, and appreciate the public’s understanding in completing this important project.”

This work is expected to take the entire construction season to complete. It is anticipated that Second Street will reopen to vehicular traffic sometime in October. The public is encouraged to follow posted detour signs to get around the construction. Signage will be posted on how to access medical service locations within the affected area.
