We are resurfacing Hwy 55 between Old Rockford Rd. in Plymouth and General Mills Blvd. in Golden Valley. The project includes paving, access modifications, stormwater system improvements, shared use trail updates, and a signal replacement. These improvements will benefit all road users by providing a smoother road surface, enhanced safety, and reduced congestion, new trail connections, and the implementation of trail infrastructure that meets ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards. Construction is anticipated to be complete in summer 2025.
For more information, including upcoming traffic impacts and detours, visit the project webpage. If you have questions, please contact the project team.
