OutdoorMN News - Section of Willard Munger State Trail to be repaired

[Rick]

The West Duluth section of the Willard Munger State Trail between Grand Avenue and Becks Road will temporarily close for repairs as crews work to replace three large culverts, according to the Minnesota Department of Natura Resources. The repairs are expected to begin next week and last through December.

Winter recreationists who use the Munger trail will be able to use the Duluth Cross-City West Trail as an alternate route to gain access to their destination.

“We are fortunate to be able to move this project forward at a time when bike traffic is reduced and we can reroute much of the Munger trail traffic to other routes,” said Martin Torgerson, Moose Lake area trails supervisor. “For safety reasons, we ask that people obey the closure signs during the construction and avoid areas where heavy equipment is present.”

Informational signs will be posted at each end of the trail construction with a map that shows alternate travel routes. For construction updates, see the trail notes on the Willard Munger State Trail page at www.mndnr.gov/statetrails or call the DNR Information Center at 888-646-6367 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday or send email inquiries to [email protected].
