City of Duluth provides storm update

Tuesday, April 4, 2023—9:00 PM

[DULUTH, MN] City of Duluth staff continue to monitor storm forecasts provided by NWS Duluth. This storm continues to impact visibility while driving, as well as slippery road and sidewalk surfaces due to sleet and snow, and high wind gusts. This storm should continue into tomorrow. As always, we encourage you to follow the National Weather Service in Duluth for details on the forecast.

Thank you to City of Duluth street maintenance crews who continue to be  out day and night plowing, sanding, and salting to keep our roads safe for buses, police, fire, ambulance, and other vehicles. While many crews are now taking a needed and required rest, we’ll have limited street maintenance crews on overnight to keep mains and emergency routes clear, and full crews will be back in force at 2:00 AM.

The City asks residents to be safe and patient as this storm impacts driving conditions and lakeshore flooding. With lakeshore flooding caused by high winds and waves from Lake Superior freezing along the shore, please avoid if possible and be safe if you are near Brighton Beach, the Lakewalk, Canal Park, Park Point, and other shoreline areas. These areas may be impacted by high waves and become treacherous in this storm.

A portion of Harbor Drive behind the DECC is temporarily closed to traffic due to wave height and ice from the harbor on the road.

Duluth Public Library locations will be closed until noon tomorrow due to weather conditions.

The Workforce Center/CareerForce will be closed tomorrow. Duluth Workforce Development staff will still be able to provide services remotely as needed.

The City thanks residents for their patience and understanding as crews work to maintain roads during these weather events. We will continue to monitor the conditions and provide updates as we are able. Please stay safe while traveling.
