DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – Remediation work in the ponds behind the Erie Pier in Duluth will result in the closure and detour of a portion of the Cross City Trail.
The work to contain contaminated sediment in the ponds and Shoppers Creek will require a long term closure of the trail off Ramsey Street below I-35 and south to 40th Avenue West.
The detour is scheduled to begin at the end of June.
The detour will direct trail users at Ramsey Street and Recycle Way to Mike Colalillo Drive. From there, users will follow Mike Colalillo Drive to Grand Avenue, where they will turn northeast on Grand Avenue and follow that until they reach North 34th Avenue West.
