Bill > HF998

This bill provides $8,600,000 in state bond funding for the reconstruction of the Hennepin Avenue Suspension Bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Specifically, the appropriation will support Phase 2 of the bridge project, allowing Hennepin County to use the funds for design engineering, construction engineering, reconstruction of the three bridges (the suspension bridge and approach bridges), and related roadway approach work, including right-of-way acquisition. The Minnesota commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds to finance this project, with the bond proceeds to be credited to the state transportation fund. The bonds will be issued according to existing state statutes and constitutional provisions governing bond issuance. The bill becomes effective immediately after it is enacted, providing a clear timeline for funding this historic infrastructure improvement project in Minneapolis.
