Snell Isle Alerts

Snell Isle Traffic Impacted By Sunday Triathlon

Coming over the bridge onto Snell Isle, you've likely seen the alert sign about the St. ANTHONY’S TRIATHLON which will take place this Sunday, April 30th. As in years past, a portion of the running segment will take place on Snell Isle. You can see that it meanders over the bridge and down Brightwaters Blvd NE and back. The alert sign indicates that it will disrupt traffic from 6:00 AM - 2:00 PM on Sunday, so please plan accordingly and give yourself extra time should you need to drive off the Isle!

40th Ave NE Bridge Closure Date Change

For those who drive across the 40th Ave bridge to Shore Acres and take Overlook into Snell Isle, your commute will be disrupted in the very near future. There is an article in the March Panther, but since that went to press, the city has delayed the bridge closure a few days. High winds will impact the ability to move the cranes safely this weekend as planned, therefore the bridge is now scheduled to close down both lanes on March 6 (5:00 AM) until 5:00 PM on March 11th.

Given that the whole bridge will be closed for that time, a significant amount of traffic will re-route through Snell Isle over the 34th or 22nd Ave entrances. Be aware and plan for a little extra time. If you wish to read about the bridge construction project, you can see more details here: http://www.40thavenuebridge.com/
