City of Duluth to resume Third Street Reconditioning Project on Monday, April 22

[DULUTH, MN] The City of Duluth will resume the Third Street Reconditioning Project on April 22, 2024. The right lane of Third street will be closed from 12th Avenue E to Mesaba Avenue to allow for work on the upper side of the road. No parking will be allowed on the right lane side of the road, but pavement markings and signs will be removed on Sunday evening to allow for parking on the left lane side. Avenues may be closed as required to safely complete the work within the intersections. Due to the work that was completed during phase one of the project in 2023, it is not expected that Third Street will need to be closed this year for the reconditioning project.

The first phase of the project involved reconstructing the intersections at Lake Avenue and Sixth Avenue E and installing new signals at those intersections in 2023. The second phase of the project will consist of concrete pavement repairs, bituminous mill and overlay, ADA intersection improvements, and the removal of the signals at Fourth Avenue W, Third Avenue E, and Fifth Avenue E.

Work on the upper side of Third Street is anticipated to be completed in early July; traffic will then be switched and work will then begin on the lower side. Construction is anticipated to be complete by the end of September 2024.

For more information, please contact the City of Duluth Engineering division at 218-730-5200.
