This bill, H.F. No. 2271, introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives, proposes appropriating $5.6 million from the state transportation fund for intersection improvements along U.S. Highway 14 in Byron, Minnesota. The funds will be used for environmental analysis, predesign, and final design of a project to replace at-grade intersections and traffic signals with grade-separated interchanges, specifically at Olmsted County State-Aid Highways 3 and 5.

If funds remain after the design and engineering work, they may be used toward the right-of-way acquisition, construction, furnishing, and equipping of the interchanges and associated infrastructure.

To finance the project, the bill authorizes the sale and issuance of general obligation bonds by the commissioner of management and budget, up to $5.6 million, in accordance with Minnesota state statutes and the state constitution.
