Hwy 61- Resurfacing in Duluth
About the project
In 2029, MnDOT plans to resurface Hwy 61 in Duluth from the Lester River bridge to just past the Superior Street intersection. This project has been in the MnDOT Capital Highway Investment Plan (CHIP) since 2018. Engagement was tabled until now so it wouldn't be confused with the London Road project from 26th Avenue East to 60th Avenue East. This project includes studies at the Superior Street and Congdon Boulevard/Scenic 61 intersections, and improvements may be included at those intersections.
Benefits
- Improve safety

Community survey
We're collecting comments on what issues or concerns you encounter along the Hwy 61 corridor from the Lester River bridge to the Superior Street intersection (blue highlighted area). Do you have safety concerns? Speed concerns? Access concerns? Grab a correlating pin (the + sign to the left), place it on the map where you see a concern. We're not looking for solutions, just feedback on how the roadway works.
