The project overview is described as such:
The Highway 53 bridges, located in Duluth’s Lincoln Park neighborhood, were to be replaced as part of the Twin Ports Interchange project, but were deferred due to a funding shortfall. MnDOT anticipates the bridges will be replaced in approximately 2027 when funding for the project becomes available. It is important to understand the community’s vision for use of space beneath the new bridges now, in order to complete the bridge design in a manner that does not preclude a safe and engaging space use under the future bridges.
