Commuters in Plymouth will need to plan for a detour on Route 747 today as MnDOT gets down to business at Highway 55 and Vicksburg Lane. The milling and overlay work, a part of ongoing road maintenance and improvements in the area, will result in a partial closure of the intersection from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., affecting the usual traversal routes of public transportation.
During the said closures, Route 747 will be directed along a slightly altered path, skipping its regular stops at Vicksburg Lane/32nd Avenue and Ranchview Lane/28th Avenue. According to an announcement published by the City of Plymouth, eastbound buses will stick to Plymouth Boulevard and 36th Avenue before continuing on to Niagara Lane to reconnect with the normal route at 28th Avenue.
For riders displaced by the detour, alternative options are available. Plymouth's Metrolink Click-and-Ride service is at your beck and call, offering flexible travel within the city, including connections to park and ride locations. Bus transfers from Click-and-Ride can be coordinated with all express routes, ensuring that folks aren’t stranded because of the construction work.
And if there's any confusion or need for further clarification, help is just a call or email away. Transit Administrator Nur Kasin can be reached at 763-509-5013 or via [email protected] for those who require an interpreter for this message. General inquiries about Plymouth Metrolink are directed to [email protected] or the mainline at 763-509-5535, where representatives can assist commuters navigating the temporary route changes.
Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to stay abreast of traffic updates and route modifications, maintaining connections in the city's rhythms of movement despite the temporary rearrangements forced by the maintenance of its arteries.
