This bill provides $1,000,000 in state bond funding for Lake County to replace the Kawishiwi Bridge near Spruce Road. The appropriation will support site preparation activities including demolition, design, construction, furnishing, and equipping of the new bridge.

The county is permitted to enter into a lease or management agreement for the bridge's maintenance and operation, following guidelines in Minnesota Statutes section 16A.695. The bonds will be issued according to standard state procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes sections 16A.631 to 16A.675 and in alignment with the Minnesota Constitution. The bill becomes effective immediately after its final enactment, providing a timely mechanism for funding this critical infrastructure replacement project.
