London Road Construction Chaos

London Road in Duluth is undergoing major construction set to last until November 2026, with work resuming in 2027—causing significant traffic disruptions. MnDOT is carefully planning around key events like Grandma’s Marathon and the North Shore Inline Marathon, plus holidays and fishing season, to minimize chaos. Currently, southbound London Road is closed, with traffic rerouted via Superior Street and special truck routes. Northbound traffic faces a hard closure just past business accesses before 26th Ave E, and 26th Ave E itself is blocked over the hill. I-35 north/eastbound drivers are being diverted to bypass and reconnect to London Road—access to 26th Ave E from I-35 or London Road is currently cut off. MnDOT’s website offers full detour maps and updates. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
