Heads up, Duluth commuters: sewer maintenance is in full swing near Lake Avenue/Sixth Avenue W exit ramp off I-35, causing some traffic headaches this morning. For those trying to navigate their way around the city, look for alternative routes, as the ramp will remain out of commission until about noon.
According to the City of Duluth's statement, the city's utility operations crews are out there trying to manage an unscheduled maintenance job that popped up. They began the work at 9:30 am, and they're expected to wrap up by noon completely. Some might find the timing inconvenient, but maintenance like this is crucial to keep the city's infrastructure running smoothly.
Commuters should plan to possibly adjust their schedules and find an alternate route this morning.
