[DULUTH, MN] The City of Duluth is hosting an open house for the public tonight, April 16, 2026 regarding the reconstruction of Fourth Street between Mesaba Avenue and Sixth Avenue E. This open house is intended to share the feedback that was received at the open house held in January and present preliminary design concepts for the reconstruction project.

The meeting will be held this evening, April 16, 2026 from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm at the Central Hillside Community Center (12 E Fourth Street, Duluth, MN).

Project design and engineering will occur through 2027, with construction scheduled to take place from 2028 to 2029. Funding for the project will come from Municipal State Aid for Streets and utility funds.

The scope of work for the project includes:

  • Full reconstruction of the roadway and utilities.
  • Traffic signal study and recommendations.
  • Stormwater drainage and infrastructure improvements.
  • Street lighting replacement and improvement.
  • Pedestrian improvements.
  • Multimodal improvements for cyclists and other lightweight human and electric powered devices.

 

There will not be a formal presentation during the open house. Community members are invited to attend at any time that is convenient for them. City staff and the design team will be available to discuss the project and gather feedback throughout the meeting.
