Here Are The 5 Most Dangerous Intersections in Duluth In The Winter for 2022

Winter in Duluth leads to some particularly challenging travel situations. The steep hills mixed with snow and ice make for difficult and dangerous situations. I reached out to the Duluth Police Department to find out the most dangerous intersections in Duluth for this year.

This information I got includes reported car crashes from 11/1/2021 through 4/30/2022. I will say that I feel like the road construction made for different reports this year as a lot of ramps weren't usable during winter driving.
