Highway 2 in Saginaw re-opens following railroad bridge repair

Squad cars and other law enforcement vehicles, K-9s and more will be on display during the fourth annual Kids, Cops and Cars event on the Iron Range. The free, family-friendly celebration is Tuesday, May 13, 4-6 p.m., at the Hibbing Memorial Building, 400 East 23rd Street.

Spring load restrictions will be removed in two phases for St. Louis County roads. For roads in the North-Central Zone, which includes the southwest corner of the county - roads south of US Highway 2 and west of State Highway 33 - restrictions will be lifted Friday, May 2, at 12:01 a.m. For roads in the North Zone, which covers the remainder of the County, restrictions will remain in place until Monday, May 12, at 12:01 a.m.

Springtime can pose added risk for children of being exposed to lead paint. The most common source of lead exposure for children is the dust that comes from cracked, chipped or peeling lead-based paint and tracked contaminated soil. Any home built before 1978 may contain lead paint.
