Service Alerts

Catlin Ave will be closed between N 8th Street and Winter Street on Monday, September 23^rd, at noon. They plan to have it back open on Tuesday September 24th at 4:00pm. This will cause a detour for Route 110 during this time. Given that the detour won’t miss any stops and only be adding travel time we will operate regular route if Catlin is open on either side of the announced window.

Although no stops will be missed, this is likely to cause delays which will potentially impact connections with Route 111 during this closure. Riders should allow for extra time if they need to make this connection and request Transfer Requests from their Bus operators when available. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Route 110 From Duluth: From Catlin Ave at 8^th Street, detour by turning right onto 8^th St and follow it to Grand Ave, at Grand Ave turn left, and follow Grand Ave to Winter St, turn left onto Winter St and follow it to Catlin Ave, turn right onto Catlin Ave to resume regular routing.

Routes 110 To Duluth: Reverse of From Duluth instructions.

Beginning today, Monday September 16th, work will begin on improvements around the DTA hub near Door 16 and will continue with a remodeling Door 16 itself beginning Monday September 23rd.

Due to the lack of a safe alternative route for DTA buses around this construction we will be maintaining regular routing through the mall property. Riders should be advised of the construction work around the shelters while we use any safe, open areas around that project to provide service at this location.

Beginning Monday September 23rd, a remodeling of the Door 16 entrance at the Miller Hill Mall will temporarily close that entrance until Friday the 27th. Once again, DTA will be maintaining regular routing through the area. Riders seeking entrance to the mall will be able to use Doors 13 or 12 near the food court area, or Door 1 in between JCPenney and Men’s Wearhouse on the side of the building opposite Door 16. We will need to ask riders to please allot extra time and be prepared to use one of these alternatives until the mall has reopened Door 16 to the public.

UPDATE SEPTEMBER 19TH, 2024: A different project on 3rd St will extend this detour up to Friday September 27th

Further work in the vicinity of the intersection of 6^th Ave East and 3^rd St will cause a detour for “To Downtown” Routes 105, 106, and Green Line. This detour begins on Monday, September 16^th, and is scheduled to last until Friday, September 27^th. If anything should open sooner than Friday, we will maintain detour until we can provide the public with at least 1 days’ notice before resuming regular routing.

Routes 105, 106, and Green Line TO DOWNTOWN: From 6^th Ave E downhill at 5^th St, detour by turning right onto 5^th St, follow 5^th St to 5^th Ave E and turn left, follow 5^th Ave E to 4^th St noting the temporary stop on 5^th Ave E before 4^th St, turn right onto 4^th St, provide service at 4^th St and 4^th Ave E as needed, We will not be able to have these routes provide service at 2^nd Ave E and 4^th St, as they will be needing to perform a left turn down 2^nd Ave E and follow to resume current downtown routing.

Routes 105, 106, and Green Line FROM DOWNTOWN: No detour needed, but extra care will be needed with construction congestion on 6^th Ave E between 2^nd and 3^rd St.

Again, a temporary stop will be available above 4th St on 5th Ave E, and these 3 routes will provide service at the 104 stop on 4th St at 4th Ave E.

THIS DETOUR WILL CONCLUDE AT THE END OF THE DAY ON FRIDAY 9/20. WE WILL RESUME REGULAR ROUTING ON SATURDAY 9/21

Continuing work on Woodland Ave at the intersection of Oxford St will force From UMD to Downtown and Westbound 103’s to detour beginning Monday September 16th for a period of approximately 1 week. It is possible this will conclude sooner than 1 week, but we will extend at least 1 day notice of a return to regular routing before doing so.

Route 103 From UMD: From Woodland Ave at Snively Rd detour by turning right onto Snively Rd. Continue along Snively Rd noting the temporary stops listed below and displayed on the attached map. Follow Snively Rd to the roundabout and use the 1st exit to access Glenwood St going downhill towards Lakeside and resume regular route.

Route 103 To UMD: No detour needed.

Temporary stops on Snively placed at:
• Just after the turn onto Snively on the concrete pad that reaches the curb.
• Next to Waverly Park at the base of Sussex Ave.
• At the concrete pad with a flashing crosswalk at the top of Lakeview Dr
• At the base of Morningside Ave

UPDATE 9/20/2024 7:15PM

We still have not seen any closure of 7th St and 1st Ave E. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this has caused. Effective immediately we will revert to regular routing and continue that through the weekend. We will reassess Monday morning.

On Wednesday, September 18th, an ongoing project on 1^st Ave E will create a detour for Route 114, due to the closure of 7^th St at 1^st Ave E that it will generate.

Regrettably, 7^th St from Mesaba to 4th Ave E will be missed for the duration of this portion of the project.

Passengers are advised to find stops on 6^th Ave E or on 4^th St on either side of Lake Ave, that are served by routes 104 or the downtown bound 114.

Route 114 will detour as follows:

From Downtown to Skyline: From Lake Ave and 4^th St, detour by turning Left on 4^th St, follow 4^th St to 4^th Ave West and turn Right, follow 4^th Ave West as it merges onto Mesaba Ave, follow Mesaba Ave to 7^th St and turn left onto regular route.

To Downtown from Skyline: No detour needed.

This detour is expected to last until September 26^th, but will be adjusted as needed.

On Monday August 26^th 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 6^th 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.
