Saving Lives, Saving Dollars
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.

STARTED - TH 55 Environmental Assessment from Rockford to Buffalo Status

Due in large part to the efforts of the Coalition, planning is moving forward for the future expansion and reconstruction of Highway 55 from Rockford to Buffalo.  The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) District 3 has started to prepare an Environmental Assessment/Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA/EAW) for the purposes of corridor preservation. The EA/EAW assessed the potential impacts of the project and will help in obtaining federal funding for right of way preservation. The current schedule is to have the EA/EAW completed in 2010.  There is currently no funding designated for construction. However, the EA/EAW and corridor preservation processes will allow construction of the project to proceed efficiently when funding is secured.
