Road Closures Planned for Medical District Parking Ramp Project

DULUTH, Minn. — A temporary closure of Fourth Avenue East between First and Second Streets is planned for Monday, January 15 to allow for work on the new medical district parking ramp near Essentia Health’s downtown Duluth campus.

The contractor will need to close that section of Fourth Avenue East through March of 2025 and will result in the following infrastructure impacts (illustrated in the below detour map):

Closure and detour of Fourth Avenue East. Detour will redirect vehicle traffic to Third Avenue East.

Shifting lanes: First Street between Fourth Avenue East and Third Avenue East and Third Avenue East between First Street and Second Street

On-street no-parking zones: First Street between Fourth Avenue East and Third Avenue East and Third Avenue East between First Street and Second Street.

Some sidewalks affected will also be closed, with detours on the opposite sides of the streets. The sidewalk in front of the hospital on Fourth Avenue East will remain open.
