Sherburne County; U.S. Highway 10 freeway conversion funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 1642 appropriates $35 million from state highway funds to begin converting U.S. Highway 10 to a freeway in Sherburne County, Minnesota. This funding covers Phase 1 construction - including an interchange at 15th Avenue SE in St. Cloud and nearby improvements - along the route from St. Cloud to Clear Lake. The bill authorizes the state to issue up to $35 million in bonds to finance this project, with unspent funds potentially used for Phase 2. The direct effect is on Sherburne County residents, commuters, and local infrastructure, specifically targeting the U.S. Highway 10 corridor between St. Cloud and Clear Lake.
