Here is a heads up for riders of Plymouth Metrolink Route 777. Temporary route changes go into effect Monday when a construction project in Plymouth gets underway.

Buses will not operate on West Medicine Lake Drive between Hwy. 55 and 18th Avenue N. through June 20 or until a project to rebuild a retaining wall along Medicine Lake is finished. West Medicine Lake Drive will be closed between 12th and 18th Avenues.

During the closure, Route 777 buses will continue to serve the northern portion of the route and operate as normal north and west of Campus Drive and Northwest Blvd. The southern portion of the route will be served by Shuttle Service Route 741 and provides rides to and from Station 73.

At Station 73, shuttle riders will be able to connect with express Route 777 to and from downtown Minneapolis.
