Bill > HF2554

This bill designates the bridge on Burnsville Parkway over Interstate Highway 35W in the city of Burnsville as the "Elmstrand * Finseth * Ruge Heroes Memorial Bridge". The bill requires the Minnesota Department of Transportation commissioner to design and erect appropriate signage marking the bridge, in accordance with existing state procedures for memorial highway designations. While the bill does not provide specific details about who Elmstrand, Finseth, and Ruge were, the use of "Heroes Memorial Bridge" suggests they may have been individuals who performed heroic acts, potentially military service members or first responders. The legislation amends Minnesota Statutes by adding a new subdivision to section 161.14, which governs highway designations, and follows a standard process for commemorating significant individuals through highway and bridge naming.
