City of Duluth to temporarily close several blocks of Fourth Street to complete lead water service replacements

 

 

 

[DULUTH, MN] Beginning on May 5, 2026, the City of Duluth will conduct rolling temporary closures of Fourth Street between Seventh Avenue E to 19th Avenue E to allow contractors space to complete lead water service replacements. The closures will roll in two block segments, beginning from the east and working westward. The closures are expected to last a month in duration.

 

On-street residential parking will be affected during the closures. The closure is expected to create significant traffic delays and drivers are encouraged to use the posted detour route, or consider alternate routes to get to their destinations.

 

Detour routes are as follows:

 

Westbound traffic: Fourth Street to 19th Avenue E to Third Street to Sixth Avenue E to Fourth Street

Eastbound traffic: Fourth Street to Sixth Avenue E to Second Street to 19th Avenue E to Fourth Street

 

Please review this closure at the City’s Road Closure Map (https://duluthmn.gov/engineering/maps/)
