Residents and commuters in Duluth should prepare for some travel adjustments as Sundby Road is set to temporarily close for a few weeks due to construction work. Beginning July 1, Sundby Road will be shut between Page Street and Miller Creek Drive.
The road closure comes as contractors work on installing utilities and carrying out pavement restoration as part of a commercial construction project. According to the city's announcement, while Sundby Road will be closed to through traffic, it will remain open to local traffic from Haines Road to Miller Creek Drive, and Page Street will stay accessible throughout the project's duration. The disruption is expected to last from three to four weeks.
To circumvent the closed section of Sundby Road, drivers are advised to use Maple Grove Road, US Highway 53, and Haines Road as alternative routes. The city has provided a detour map for motorists to consult, which can be especially helpful during peak hours when road usage typically increases.
Construction and closure of roads can inconvenience drivers, but the improvements are aimed at better accommodating the growing traffic demands and enhancing the overall infrastructure. Patience and adherence to detour signs and local directions will ensure safety and minimize disruptions during this period. For more information on the closure and detour options, residents can refer to the provided link.
