On Monday August 26th the merger of Garfield Ave and 535 will be closed in both directions until approximately October 18th. This will mean that Route 110 will have to bypass Garfield Ave and West Superior St between Downtown and Garfield Ave. There will be no regular service on Garfield Ave during this time, but the DTA will provide AM and PM shuttles to and from Goodwill industries.
Route 110 will experience some variances in timing between DTC and North 6th St given the nature of this detour. Bus operators will do their best to maintain the schedule as best as possible but may arrive on either side a bit sooner than scheduled. They will make every effort to safely pull over and follow the schedule, but riders should plan on the possibility of the bus being early on either end of where the route resumes regular routing.
Route 110 will detour as follows:
Route 110 to Superior, WI: From West Superior St and 6th Ave W follow the entrance to I-35 Southbound and merge onto the freeway, follow the freeway to the 535 Wisconsin exit and exit the freeway onto 535/Blatnik Bridge, follow Blatnik Bridge to resume regular route being careful through the single lane bypass above Garfield Ave.
Route 110 to Duluth, MN: From the Blatnik Bridge/535 remain on 535 being careful through with the single lane bypass above Garfield Ave, follow 535 to the Northbound I-35 Exit and remain in the right lane to then take the Mesaba Ave/Superior St exit, follow the ramp to Superior St and resume regular route.
Goodwill shuttles:
The DTA will also be operating a series of one-way shuttles to travel to Goodwill industries on Garfield Ave in Duluth in the morning, and shuttles back to DTC in the afternoon.
Shuttles in the morning will depart DTC at 6:55 am, 7:25 am, and 7:55 am to go to Goodwill (waiting for Route 104 that normally turns into the 110 at each of those times).
Shuttles will depart from Goodwill at 3:30 pm and 4:30 pm to bring passengers to DTC.
These will run Monday through Friday Starting Monday August 26th and running until we can resume regular routing with the exception of no Goodwill shuttles on Labor Day, Monday September 2nd.
