Bill > HF2272

This bill provides funding and bond authorization for highway infrastructure improvements in Byron, Minnesota, specifically along U.S. Highway 14. The bill appropriates a total of $8 million ($5.6 million from general obligation bonds and $2.4 million from trunk highway bonds) to the commissioner of transportation for a project to replace at-grade intersections with grade-separated interchanges in the city of Byron. The funding will cover environmental analysis, predesign, and final design work for improvements at intersections with Olmsted County State-Aid Highways 3 and 5. Any remaining funds after the initial design and engineering work can be used to acquire right-of-way and to construct, furnish, and equip the new interchanges and associated infrastructure. The commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds to provide the funding, following specific state constitutional and statutory guidelines. These improvements aim to enhance traffic safety and flow at these key highway intersections by replacing at-grade crossings with more advanced interchange designs.
