Aerial Lift Bridge Operations warns residents of falling ice hazard, temporarily closes pedestrian sidewalk

 

[DULUTH, MN] The City of Duluth is temporarily closing the pedestrian sidewalk on the harbor side of the Aerial Lift Bridge. Due to storm conditions, ice is falling from the upper sections of the bridge, creating a safety hazard.  As a result, the harbor side, or west, sidewalk is currently closed to pedestrian traffic. The lake side, or east, sidewalk will remain open to pedestrian traffic. People should still use caution and be aware that ice may also fall on that side of the bridge. The City of Duluth Public Works and Utilities Department and Aerial Lift Bridge Operations staff will continue to monitor the conditions and will reopen the sidewalk when it is safe to do so.

Aerial Lift Bridge Operations thanks the residents for their cooperation during the closure.
