The Duluth Police Department has issued a traffic advisory in conjunction with this weekends Air Show.  The show itself happens 9:00 AM until 6:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday at the airbase.  General event parking is located on Airbase Road - via Stebnar, Swan Lake and Arrowhead.  Meanwhile, the V.I.P. lot is accessible via Miller Trunk Highway (Highway 53) to Cirrus Drive.

During the event, access to Federal Express, BX, Cirrus, and VIP lots will be Miller Trunk Highway (Highway 53) to Cirrus Drive.  Exiting these locations will be out of Cirrus Drive.

During the early morning hours, Stebnar Road from Highway 53 will change from a 2 lane one-way in flow, leading directly into the General Event Parking Lot.  All vehicles entering on Stebnar Road during this time will flow directly into this lot and through traffic will not be allowed.

At the end of the day (4:00 PM to 7:00 PM) - when the event is finishing, traffic is expected to become heavy.  During these times, emphasis is placed on exiting traffic and vehicle flow into the event area will be limited.  When traffic backs up, Stebnar Road will be changed to a 2-lane one-way out flow from the General Event Parking Lot to Miller Trunk Highway (Highway 53).  No inbound traffic will be let in on Stebnar Road at this time.

Grinden Drive - along the Duluth International Airport - will be posted "No Stopping".  That roadway will be patrolled and vehicles in violation will be ticketed.

Motorists in the area of the Air Show are asked to slow down, drive with extra care, and watch for signs, barricades, pedestrians, and police officers directing traffic.

Because of recent wet conditions, some parking in the Duluth Air Show Lot has been reduced.  Car-pooling is being strongly encouraged.  Parking will be allowed in the Miller HIll Mall lot with shuttle buses running continuously to and from the Air Show.  Look for the posted "Air Show Stuffle Bus" signs in the Miller Hill Mall parking lot for bus stop locations.  Shuttle rides will be $5.00 per person for a round trip ticket.
