Duluth trail enthusiasts and commuters: Starting Monday, a key segment of the beloved Lakewalk will be hit with intermittent closures. The stretch between 26th Avenue E and 32nd Avenue E is set for temporary shutdowns to facilitate a sanitary sewer bypass project, according to the city's announcement.
For those who frequent this picturesque path along the water's edge, prepare for a shift in your routine during the peak of summer - heavy machinery and work crews will be a common sight as the improvements roll out, and detours will guide your steps to safety, but fret not, the city has things charted out with a handy detour map you can follow.
While such interruptions may disrupt the daily flow, they're necessary for keeping Duluth's infrastructure robust and reliable. Trail-goers are urged by the city to heed the signage and respect the barriers; they're there for everyone's well-being, after all, and it is important to safeguard both the people hard at work and those passing by.
