Idaho Street entry into Morgan Park closed due to safety concerns
Idaho Street closed until further notice in Morgan Park neighborhood.
The City of Duluth issued a closure of the section of Idaho Street that enters into and exits out of the Morgan Park neighborhood effective immediately. According to a release from the city, a structural review of the railroad bridge that passes over that section of the street deemed the bridge overpass unsafe.
City officials say the structural review found advanced deterioration on the CN Railroadowned and maintained bridge. Due to these findings the passage beneath the structure is no longer advised.
The affected section of Idaho Street will remain closed until further notice.
The public is asked to observe signs and barricades in the area. The Morgan Park neighborhood is accessible from the main entrance point at 88th Avenue W. off of Highway 23 in Duluth.
