Bill > HF2076

This bill appropriates $400 million in state transportation bond proceeds to improve local roads and bridges in Minnesota. Specifically, $250,000,000 will be allocated to the commissioner of transportation for two primary purposes: first, constructing and reconstructing local roads with statewide or regional significance, with priority given to projects that will expand the state's ten-ton road system; and second, providing grants to counties to fund rural road safety capital improvement projects on county state-aid highways. An additional $150,000,000 is designated for local bridge replacement and rehabilitation, with funds intended to match federal money and support the actual construction, reconstruction, and improvement of local bridges. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds to fund these appropriations, and will take effect the day after final enactment. The bill aims to address infrastructure needs by investing in local transportation infrastructure, focusing on road safety, expansion, and bridge maintenance.
