Aerial Lift Bridge pedestrian walkway closes due to falling ice

DULUTH, Minn. — A pedestrian walkway on Duluth’s Aerial Lift Bridge is closed on Friday due to falling ice.

According to city officals ice falling from the upper sections of the bridge is creating a safety hazard on the walkway.

The lakeside walkway is closed, but the bayside walkway will remain open for pedestrians, who officials say should use caution and watch for falling ice.

The conditions are expected to remain hazardous into the weekend, and a timeline for the walkway to reopen is unknown.
