The City of Duluth has announced a temporary closure of Skyline Parkway at Twin Ponds for bridge repairs beginning on August 12, 2024. The work is anticipated to take roughly two weeks, and the bridge is expected to reopen after August 23, 2024.

Access to Twin Ponds trailhead/parking, Enger Park golf course, and Enger Tower will remain open, but minor delays and temporary traffic controls may be encountered. Please note the access points:

• Enger Tower: Only accessible from Hank Jensen Drive via 24th Avenue West.
• Enger Park Golf Course: Only accessible on Skyline Parkway from 24th Avenue West.
• Enger Park Overlooks: Only accessible on Skyline Parkway from 24th Avenue West.
• Twin Ponds/Trailhead: Only accessible on Skyline Parkway from 10th Avenue West.

Drivers should expect delays due to the construction and are advised to exercise caution and reduce speed. Fifth Street is closed for additional roadwork, and it is prohibited to move barricades. Although no official detour is provided, an alternative route via Observation Road and Highway 53 is suggested on the map above.

Duluth’s budget debate is missing millions

Duluth residents should not accept a budget narrative built only around the bad news. Transparency requires more than explaining the size of the shortfall. It requires identifying every option, every revenue decision and every pool of existing or reasonably anticipated financial capacity.

Financial need alone will not carry two operating referendum questions across the finish line Nov. 3. The district must confront a trust issue that has accumulated over two decades and explain why voters should believe the next 10-year, $103 million plan be better than the plans that preceded it.

Hawks enter fall with contenders, questions and unfinished business

That is the broad Hermantown picture entering training camp starting Aug. 17. Football and girls cross-country should expect to contend for section championships. Boys soccer and volleyball return enough proven talent to make deep playoff runs realistic.
