The Highway 55 coalition's mission is to secure right-of-way and related infrastructure improvements on the 40 mile segment of Highway 55 between I-494 in Plymouth to the western city limits of Annandale to increase safety, add capacity, add additional lanes, manage access control and add transit service where appropriate.
We invite you to get involved as every voice counts in our mission to improve the Highway 55 corridor by planning for the future. On our website you'll find various pages to educate you on the issues at hand, the goals of the coalition and the role you can play in shaping the outcome.
Hwy 55 Coalition Spotlighted by the Lake Minnetonka Communications Commission
Priority Project - Resurface Hwy 55 from CR 118 to CR 19, with two-lane to four-lane expansion.
The Highway 55 Corridor Coalition, in partnership with coalition membership, is requesting funding for reconstruction of Highway 55 from a two-lane undivided to a four-lane divided roadway in Hennepin County from Arrowhead Drive in the City of Medina to County Road (CR) 19 north of Loretto.
The Project is greatly supported by Coalition membership and communities along the corridor as it provides for safe and efficient movement of goods, services, and people to support local and regional commerce.
The Coalition’s funding request is for construction, right-of-way, and engineering.
The requested funds will accelerate the growth of the local and regional economy by improving the movement of freight and reducing barriers to commerce, reducing vehicle travel time and congestion, and improving vehicle safety.
