Repair work on the Board of Trade Building in downtown Duluth will necessitate the closing of the 300 block of First Street West temporarily - while a crane is assembled. The repairs are needed due to to damage that the building sustained during the storm on July 21.

The section of street will be closed to traffic at 7:00 PM on Tuesday, July 26 and remain closed until 6:00 AM Wednesday, July 27.

After the crane is assembled and put into place, it will remain on site to make the necessary repairs to the building.  While work is progressing, First Street will temporarily be made into two-way traffic on this block so  that cars can get into the parking garage at 315 W First Street.

The work is expected to be complete by August 6.
