Construction of 6th Ave E - 1st St to 2nd St
The City of Duluth is constructing an extension of 6th Avenue E from 1st Street E to 2nd Street E. The project will extend 6th Avenue E to 1st Street E along existing right-of-way. Due to the existing conditions extensive rock excavation and retaining wall construction is included in the project. Gas and water services will be extended up the new 6th Avenue E section. A new sidewalk will run along the east side of the new roadway and new stairs will be constructed to provide access to existing buildings along the corridor. The 2nd Street alley connecting to 6th Avenue E will be turned into a dead end due to the required grade changes and a turnaround will be installed.
