Prepare for a major reroute if you're planning to travel through Highway 55 in Plymouth. Starting from Monday, June 16, a stretch of the road between West Medicine Lake Drive and Revere Lane won't see any traffic until late fall. This closure isn't a momentary inconvenience; it marks the start of the Station 73 TRIP project with its claws deep into the ground, entailing extensive changes in the area of County Road 73 and Highway 55.
According to the City of Plymouth's bulletin, the shutdown is going to push drivers towards a wide arc of a regional detour that will take them around Interstate 494, Interstate 394, and Highway 169. But locals need not fear isolation, as the pathways to their abodes and businesses have been promised to remain open throughout these trying times.
For those hungry for updates or anxious about the project's progress, the city has set up the plate to serve a steady diet of eNotify email updates, available for the signing at plymouthmn.gov/station73trip. And when questions buzz in your head, or concerns weigh down your heart about the project, there are avenues for relief at the 763-251-1010 hotline or the virtual shoulder of [email protected].
This hefty engagement is a union of purposes, involving the City of Plymouth, Hennepin County, Three Rivers Park District, the Metropolitan Council, and the Minnesota Department of Transportation, all strapped in to deliver roadway, transit, trail, and utility improvements. And this intensive care for the local landscape isn't set to heal until rolling into 2026, times of lane closures, full closures, and detours, which is set to color the days of commuters and residents alike.
Anyone keen on gazing at the workings of the project or merely to keep a finger on its pulse can view materials, soak in more details, and enroll their email at plymouthmn.gov/station73trip.
