A project that traces back to a city memo written 36 years ago has finally wrapped up in Plymouth. The $35 million Station 73 project raised Highway 55 to build a tunnel so pedestrians and bicyclists can safely cross underneath, added two roundabouts, and reworked County Road 73, all finished after two years of construction.

36 Years Later, A ‘Major Step’ Completed in Plymouth’s Station 73 Project

When a teenage Amy Klobuchar rode her bicycle on the shoulder along Highway 55 in the 1970s, the population of Plymouth was about 20,000 people. Klobuchar lived three blocks away from Highway 55, which now serves as a major east-west connection between the western suburbs and Minneapolis. Today, about 30,000 vehicles use Highway 55 daily in a city that has grown to roughly 80,000 people.

Highway 610 renamed in honor of Melissa and Mark Hortman

Members of the Hortman family joined state lawmakers and Gov. Tim Walz for the unveiling of new signage designating Highway 610 as Hortman Memorial Highway — in honor of House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. The highway runs through the district Hortman served, which encompasses parts of Brooklyn Park, Coon Rapids and Champlin. The Hortmans’ children, Colin and Sophie, were among the family members who were at the Nov. 5 dedication in Brooklyn Park. “I hope that every time someone drives down Highway 610 and sees Melissa and Mark’s names, they’ll remember the lives they lived, the people they loved, and all they gave to Minnesota,” Walz wrote in a statement. At the ceremony, Walz noted Speaker Emerita Hortman played a "pivotal role" in securing funding for Highway 610. The new name was made official during the most recent legislative session, when Minnesota lawmakers tasked the transportation commissioner with adopting “a suitable design” to display on signage along the thoroughfare. Sen. John Hoffman sponsored the legislation to rename the highway, along with Rep. Erin Koegel. Hoffman spoke at the Nov. 5 dedication, where he highlighted Hortman's various contributions to the communities the highway passes through. "On the
