Minnesota SF5246 appropriates funds for the reconstruction of U.S. Highway 8 and authorizes bond issuance.

Minnesota SF5246 allocates $24,000,000 from bond proceeds for the reconstruction of U.S. Highway 8, with an additional $15,000,000 for a grant to Chisago County for predesign, design, engineering, and construction of the highway. The funds are sourced from the bond proceeds account in the trunk highway fund and are available only after nonstate resources are committed. The reconstruction may include expanding segments to four lanes, constructing frontage roads, and realigning local roads. The bill also authorizes the sale and issuance of state bonds to provide the appropriated funds.
