Sections Of Several Roads Now Closed In Minnesota

As the seasons change and the temperatures drop, there are things that people in Minnesota expect to happen.

For example, trails in Duluth close in the fall to prevent damage from the annual freeze-thaw cycle.

Another thing that happens in Duluth as winter approaches is the partial closing of roads in the area. The City of Duluth recently announced that the time for those closures is now.
