Construction to Begin on New Segment of the Cross City Trail

[Duluth, MN] – Construction on a new segment of the Cross City Trail in west Duluth will begin the week of April 20. The installation will include an extension of the paved trail from the current Cross City Trail terminus at Carlton Street in Lincoln Park, westward to Irving Park. Once completed, the path will add two miles of paved trail along the St. Louis River.

Repair work on the pedestrian bridge behind Wade Stadium (at approximately 34th Avenue West) is expected to take two to three weeks, which will also begin the week of April 20. Following repair work on the pedestrian bridge, construction of the new trail from 40th Avenue West towards Irving Park will start in early June. Motor vehicle traffic is not expected to be impacted, except for along Oneota Street.

In June, construction will begin from 40th Avenue West moving east towards Lincoln Park to connect to the current Cross City Trail terminus at Carlton Street. Traffic may be disrupted between 34th Ave W, and Carlton St. Construction of the new trail segment is expected to be completed by August.

The new trail segment is known as the “River Route” and is funded by Federal, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, and Tourism Tax funding as part of the larger St. Louis River Corridor Initiative to invest in a public park and trail improvements in western Duluth.
