Road Construction Cometh!

Ah, it's Spring in Duluth and the sounds of Spring are in the air. Those sounds are jack hammers, dozers and dump trucks of course.

Over the next 3 years, I-35 will undergo a major upgrade. At times this may make getting to Daugherty Appliance Sales & Service an "adventure".

Please bookmark our blog so you can check for updates as we get them. If you go to the Daugherty Appliance website, you can also sign up for our mailing list to be contacted by e-mail. A third option is to check with the MN DOT website for the latest news. They will have maps and routes posted.

For our customers from South of Duluth, you may stay on Grand Avenue and turn right when you get to 40th. This will avoid all road construction problems.

Here is the information we have so far:

Beginning May 5 (weather permitting)
1. Expect delays and lane closures on I-35, especially from Boundary Avenue to Garfield Avenue

Beginning May 10 Several ramps will be closed including:
1. 27 Avenue West ramp to northbound I-35.
2. Central Avenue ramp to southbound I-35.
3. Hwy 23 ramps.
4. Westbound Hwy 2.

One lane of traffic on I-35 will remain open north & south at all times.

Hopefully this will help you in your travels. We were told 40th Ave West exits will be open so you will still be able to get to us. Just call us before you come out and we will give you the best route.

We hope our great service and low prices will keep you coming back to Daugherty Appliance Sales & Service, even if it takes a few more minutes to reach us!
