UPDATE: Highway 55 in Plymouth has officially reopened to traffic after a lengthy five-month closure due to construction related to the Station 73 TRIP project. The reopening, confirmed just hours ago, marks a significant milestone for commuters who rely on this vital roadway connecting West Medicine Lake Drive and Revere Lane.
Commuters can now expect a smoother journey as the construction barriers have been removed, allowing for uninterrupted access to this crucial corridor. The City of Plymouth expressed gratitude to residents and businesses for their patience during the construction phase, underscoring the community’s resilience amidst ongoing infrastructure improvements.
While Highway 55 is now open, minor work will continue in the area through November, though city officials assure that these activities will not lead to any further road closures. This is a relief for many who have faced detours and delays over the past several months.
The reopening is part of a larger two-year initiative, the Station 73 TRIP project, which aims to enhance transportation infrastructure in the region. Future construction activities are planned for South Shore Drive, County Road 73, and Old County Road 15, set to commence in spring 2026. However, city officials assure that Highway 55 will remain open to traffic during these upcoming projects.
Residents are encouraged to stay informed about the ongoing developments. For any questions or concerns, the project hotline is available at 763-251-1010, and inquiries can also be sent via email to [email protected]. More details can be accessed on the Station 73 TRIP project webpage.
The reopening of Highway 55 is not just a logistical win; it’s a testament to Plymouth’s commitment to improving transportation and community connectivity. As the city transitions into this new phase, residents can feel optimistic about the enhancements on the horizon. Stay tuned for more updates as spring 2026 approaches, promising both progress and new challenges in Plymouth’s transportation landscape.
