St. Louis County Celebrates Completion of Major Projects

The Projects Cost More Than 5 Million Dollars

St. Louis County celebrated the completion of 3 public works projects.

The 3 projects included a new wide sidewalk by Marshall school in Duluth, a new traffic signal and reconfigured intersection where rice lake road and airport road meets, and a 12 mile long resurfacing project between Island Lake and the Whiteface Reservoir.

The 3 project cost a total of more than 5 million dollars. It took a few years to complete them all, but the big sidewalk project only took half a summer.

“Alot of investment in one little area, but it was well worth it, for a lot of different needs there,” said Steve Krasaway, the Resident Enginner for St. Louis County.

St. Louis County representatives hope that the new sidewalk will make it easier for people, whether they’re going to school, work, or using the road for recreation, to travel on rice lake road.

The sidewalk project itself cost 1.1 million dollars.

The 3 projects are among the more than 170 projects completed or near completion across the county this year.
