DULUTH, Minn. – Single lane closures that were scheduled to start today have been pushed to begin on May 29th for Highway 61 in Lake County.

“Single lane closures will initially occur in the Beaver Bay area. Additional closures will take place through late-June near the Lafayette Bluff Tunnel, and in the Gooseberry, Silver Bay, and Illgen City areas.”
