Public Meeting to Discuss Bridge Restoration over Stewart Creek

(a St. Louis River Corridor Initiative Project)

 

[Duluth, MN] - The City of Duluth Parks and Recreation division invites the public to attend an information meeting for the Stewart Creek Bridge Restoration Project. The project scope is to stabilize the former DWP railroad bridge to provide safe passage over Stewart Creek. The adjacent Clyde Connector Trail component of the project will reestablish recreational trail access between the State's Munger Trail and Skyline Parkway.

 

The public meeting will take place on:     

Thursday, September 7th

5:30-6:30pm

Morgan Park Community Center, 1242 88th Avenue West

 

Stewart Creek Bridge restoration includes replacement of deteriorated decking with modern wood decking, restoration of flood-damaged concrete abutments, and installation of cable railings for fall protection. The bridge restoration will benefit diverse user groups and act as a critical connection to the accessible DWP Trail, the Superior Hiking Trail and the Duluth Traverse multi-use bike trail. The Clyde Connector Trail will contribute to a 9-mile equestrian loop, provide snowmobile trail system connectivity, and provide multi-use loop routes by connecting the Western Waterfront Trail, the Munger Trail, the DWP Trail, Skyline Parkway, and Magney Snively Park.

 

Questions can be directed to Jim Shoberg, Project Coordinator, at jshoberg@duluthmn.gov or (218)730-4316.
