Project construction is planned to begin in 2024 and MnDOT is leading public engagement efforts to keep residents and the traveling public informed of project updates.
To minimize construction impacts to the public and improve project delivery efficiency, the county will partner with MnDOT and the City of Plymouth to construct a multi-use trail and make accessibility upgrades along Xenium Lane between 26th Avenue and TH 55 as part of MnDOT’s TH 55 project with funding available in CP 2183500 Cost Participation and Partnerships. The project expenses will be tracked in its associated subproject 2183540: Construct Multi-Use Trail along CSAH 61 from 26th Avenue to TH 55 as part of MnDOT's TH 55 Pavement Improvement Project.
