Bill > SF2977

This bill designates the bridge on Burnsville Parkway over Interstate Highway 35W in Burnsville, Minnesota, as the "Elmstrand * Finseth * Ruge Heroes Memorial Bridge". By amending Minnesota Statutes section 161.14, the bill adds a new subdivision that requires the state transportation commissioner to design and erect appropriate signage marking the bridge with its memorial name. While the bill does not provide details about the specific individuals being honored, the use of multiple names and the term "Heroes Memorial" suggests the bridge is meant to commemorate local heroes, potentially military service members or first responders. The bill follows a common practice of honoring individuals or groups through official transportation infrastructure naming, which serves to recognize and remember their contributions to the community.
