City of Duluth provides storm update

Wednesday, April 5, 2023, 10:00 AM

[DULUTH, MN] City of Duluth staff continue to monitor storm forecasts provided by NWS Duluth. Precipitation will continue through today in rain, sleet, and snow form, and snow drifting and ice continue to be an issue with this system. 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.

The City asks residents to be safe and patient as this storm impacts driving conditions and lakeshore flooding. While the ice on the lake has dampened some of the predicted wave heights, lakeshore flooding continues to be a potential hazard; 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 ice from the harbor on the road.

Duluth Public Library locations will open at noon today.

The Workforce Center/CareerForce location is closed today. Duluth Workforce Development staff are able to provide services remotely as needed.

For more information on our snow and ice policy, please visit https://duluthmn.gov/snow/.

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.
