DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – The 2nd Street improvement project, that begins on Wednesday in Duluth, will have a significant impact on patients and visitors to the Essentia Health downtown medical campus.
The six month project will close 2nd Street between Fourth and Fifth Avenues East this week and between Sixth and Ninth Avenues East starting May 3.
Meanwhile, Fifth and Sixth Avenues East will become one-ways between Second and Third Streets. Traffic on Fifth Avenue East will travel down the hill, toward Second Street; on Sixth Avenue East, it will travel up the hill, toward Third Street.
The patient drop-off for Essentia Health-Duluth and the Duluth Clinic Second Street Building will temporarily move to the same-day surgery parking lot behind Essentia Health-Duluth, off Sixth Avenue East, between April 28 and May 21.
For parking, patients and visitors to the Duluth Clinic First Street Building are encouraged to use the City Ramp located on First Street, between Third and Fourth Avenues East.
Patients and visitors to Essentia Health-St. Mary’s Medical Center should park in the Red Ramp, located off Fourth Street, between Third and Fourth Avenues East.
All other patients and visitors are asked to park in Essentia’s Green Ramp, which has been outfitted with additional entry and exit points on Third Street.
During the infrastructure-improvement project, which runs through October, Essentia patient drop-off and pick-up is expected to require extra time.
