Bridge Lift Schedule
The city of Duluth has enacted a bridge lift schedule. The bridge lifts every hour and half hour. To ensure that you’re on time, make sure you arrive and are onboard at least 15 minutes before the hour. If you are late we will have to wait for the next lift and it may not be possible to make up the time at the end of the trip.
