North Shore Inline Marathon Service Impacts Route 103 & 110 Saturday, September 19

The North Shore Inline Marathon will cause road closures and traffic congestion throughout Duluth. Riders on all DTA routes should expect possible delays during this time, particularly when traveling through downtown Duluth.

Route 103 riders in the vicinity of 60^th Ave E and E Superior St should be ready to find alternate stops nearby if 60^th Ave E between Superior St and Tioga St is closed for any time on Saturday. We cannot confirm if this will be the case at this time.

Route 110 (Duluth-Superior)

Due to a combination of marathon-related road closures and ongoing construction, Route 110 will not serve Garfield Avenue for most of the day.

Customers who normally use Route 110 stops on Garfield Avenue should plan for alternate travel arrangements during this time.

Service to Garfield Avenue is expected to resume beginning with:

The 2:28 PM trip departing Aldi in Superior toward Duluth

The 2:50 PM trip departing the Downtown Transit Center toward Superior

We appreciate your patience as we work to safely maintain service during this event.

Alert: Superior, WI Shelter replacement project week of September 14th (110, 111, 210, 211)

Beginning sometime during the week of September 14, all bus shelters in Superior will be replaced or upgraded, and several new shelters will be installed.

Because work locations, timing, and construction activity may change throughout the project, some bus stops may be temporarily inaccessible with little advance notice while shelter work is underway.

If your usual stop is affected by construction, please use the nearest available bus stop. Operators will make every effort to serve riders as close to their regular stop as conditions safely allow. However, for safety reasons, buses may only stop at locations where boarding and alighting can be completed safely and legally.

Shelter installation and removal activities may temporarily affect access to bus stops even when bus service remains available. Riders should follow any posted signs and remain clear of active work areas.

Please allow extra travel time and be prepared to walk a short distance to an alternate stop if necessary. Thank you for your patience as these improvements are made.

Route 103 and 109 Detour Under Mesaba Beginning Monday, August 24th

Beginning Monday, August 24, West Superior Street beneath Mesaba Avenue will be closed to traffic in both directions. As a result, Route 109 will operate on the detour outlined below.

Route 103 will follow the same detour as Route 109 through August 29. Beginning August 30, Route 103 will transition to a different detour and will no longer use the Route 109 detour routing.

This closure is expected to remain in effect through the end of October. Additional routes currently operating on separate detours may eventually return to their regular routes, which would be affected by this closure. Detour information will be updated as those routing changes are implemented.

Route 109 and 103 (until Aug 29^th) To Downtown: Regular route into downtown from I-35 NB

Route 103 To Downtown starting Aug 30th: the detour on W 1^st St will take 103 around this closure.

Route 109 From Downtown and Westbound 103 (until Aug 29^th): From W Superior St and 5^th Ave W detour by turning left onto 5^th Ave W, follow 5^th Ave W to I-35 SB ramp and take that ramp to resume regular route on I-35 SB.

Route 103 Westbound starting Aug 30^th: the detour on W 1^st St will take 103 around this closure.

Route 109 and Route 103 (through Aug 29^th) map:

On Sunday August 30th, there will be changes to Routes 103 and Blue line.  These routes will revert to the schedules and service corridors used before the summer detour schedules launched in June.  This change will have route 103 staying on Grand avenue through Spirit Valley/Lincoln Park, and see the return of the Blue Line serving UMD (aside from active detours that will affect these routes into fall).

Additionally, Superior will see the addition of a new local route, Route 210, returning service to portions of South Superior, connecting that neighborhood with all other Superior routing.  This routing addition is a first phase of the plan to provide more service to Superior, pending the addition of more drivers.   The 210 will operate seven days per week except on holidays. Service will run approximately 6:00 am to 10:00 am, and 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, much in the way recently added Route 111 operates.

Here are previews of the schedules for the three routes mentioned above:

Blue Line Schedule  effective Sunday, August 30th

Route 103 Schedule  effective Sunday, August 30th

Route_210 Schedule  effective Sunday, August 30th
