Bill > SF884

This bill provides $1,300,000 in state bond funding specifically for the restoration of the historic Swayback Bridge in Redwood Falls, Minnesota. The bridge, originally constructed in 1938 as part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) project and identified by bridge number 89859, will receive funding for design and construction restoration efforts. The appropriation includes money for specific preservation techniques such as cofferdam access stone replacement and tuckpointing to protect the bridge's granite and masonry exterior. The commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $1,300,000 to fund this project, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The bill becomes effective immediately after its final enactment, enabling the city of Redwood Falls to proceed with the bridge restoration project.
