Munger Trail Construction to Begin Soon

Will Last Until August

DULUTH, Minn.-A five-mile section of the Willard Munger State Trail between Grand Avenue and Becks roads in West Duluth will be closed from mid-April through August, during a construction project.

The project is set to the tread-way damaged during the 2012 flood. It would bring the trail up to current standards as well, making it wider.

“While the construction will be disruptive for trail users in the short-term, we are already looking forward to having this project fully repaired and being able to welcome people back to an improved trail when it’s completed,” said Martin Torgerson, DNR Moose Lake area supervisor. “For safety reasons, we ask that people obey the closure signs during the construction and avoid areas where heavy equipment is present.”
