After a couple of years of reinforcement and reconstruction after a series of storms battered and damaged the Lake Superior shoreline, the Duluth Lakewalk is set to reopen.

The City of Duluth has announced they are closing the Lighthouse parking lot in Canal Park to prepare for the third phase of the Lakewalk reconstruction project.

Heads up! This will result in the closure of a section of the Lakewalk for a couple months this summer.

I'll admit that I've seen some strange things on Duluth's Lakewalk before, but I can say with certainty that I've never seen anything like this.

The October 10 storm that battered the Duluth shoreline with powerful waves caused an estimated $18.4 million in damages according to city officials.

The City of Duluth issued a reminder today that a large stretch of the Duluth Lakewalk, spanning from the Lighthouse parking lot to Leif Erikson Park, is closed until further notice

Starting this upcoming week, the City of Duluth will begin the process of storm water drain maintenance and restoration.

Duluth Mayor Emily Larson met the press Monday morning on the Duluth Lakewalk to address not only the extensive damages caused to the shoreline in October, but also the additional damages done by April's storm.

Here's a true sign springtime is here, and summer isn't too far off!

Reports are indicating that the damage caused by an October 27th storm in the Duluth area is estimated to be over $3 million.

Last Friday's snowstorm packed strong wind and powerful waves that did damage to many places along the Lake Superior shoreline in Duluth and along a number of other places around the head of the lake. While curiosity might have you interested in surveying the damage for yourself, it isn't a wise idea.

The first snowstorm of the 2017-2018 season packed a punch; breaking a snowfall record in Duluth, causing damage to portions of Duluth's shoreline, and leading to several car accidents including a couple fatal ones.
