Duluth News Tribune • • science
Key Points:
- A new roundabout at the intersection of 26th Avenue East and London Road in Duluth has partially reopened, allowing access to three legs of traffic as of Tuesday.
- Southbound traffic on London Road can now use the roundabout to access 26th Avenue East, London Road, and southbound Interstate 35, while traffic from 26th Avenue East toward Lake Superior has also reopened.
- Northbound traffic on London Road remains closed at the roundabout, and northbound I-35 traffic must continue using the bypass, preventing access to 26th Avenue East.
- Traffic north of 40th Avenue East on London Road is limited to northbound travel only, with southbound vehicles detoured via Superior Street and 21st Avenue East for trucks.
- The $24.5 million project, started in late April and expected to finish by October, aims to improve pavement, pedestrian safety, drainage, traffic flow, and congestion along London Road from 26th Avenue East to beyond 60th Avenue East at the Lester River.
