Drivers in Duluth will need to navigate a detour on Skyline Parkway starting Tuesday, as the city gets set to chop down ash trees posing a risk to public safety. The closure, affecting the stretch from Enger Golf Course to 24th Avenue W, is scheduled to ease road congestion while crews remove potentially hazardous trees, and will run through Friday, March 8, from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily, as reported by the City of Duluth, MN Government.
According to the City of Duluth, MN Government, informing motorists of the expected disruptions and seeking their cooperation during the tree removal operation, the city’s necessity to take these steps stems from the need to address the spread of the invasive emerald ash borer, which has been decimating ash tree populations across numerous states.
