Bill > SF724

This bill addresses transportation infrastructure improvements for U.S. Highway 14 in the city of Byron, Olmsted County, Minnesota, by authorizing two separate bond issues totaling $8 million. Specifically, $5.6 million from general obligation bonds and $2.4 million from trunk highway bonds will be used to fund environmental analysis, predesign, and final design for replacing at-grade intersections and traffic signals with grade-separated interchanges, particularly at intersections with Olmsted County State-Aid Highways 3 and 5. The funding can also be applied to right-of-way acquisition and construction of the interchanges and associated road infrastructure after the initial design phases are complete. The commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue these bonds according to state statutes and constitutional provisions, with the bonds to be issued at the request of the commissioner of transportation. These improvements aim to enhance safety and traffic flow along this highway segment by eliminating at-grade intersections and replacing them with more advanced, separated interchanges.
