The Minnesota Department of Transportation has rescheduled a temporary bridge closure. The closure, from eastbound Highway 23 to northbound I-35 in Duluth, is rescheduled for Monday, September 15 from 9 AM to 3 PM. Traffic will be detoured during the closure.
It looks like commuters in the Twin Ports will be taking detours a little longer. Originally the closure and repair of southbound I-35 in Duluth was scheduled to take less than a week. A new timetable released by the Minnesota Department of Transportation revises that schedule and it now appears that drivers will face the closure for 3 to 4 weeks.
Drivers traveling north and south on I-35, just south of Boundary Avenue in Duluth will be restricted to a single lane beginning Monday, April 29th. Crews will be busy constructing a media crossover - weather permitting. Motorists will be restricted to a single lane for about a mile.
