Cook County; Gunflint Trail National Scenic Byway improvements funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 3811 appropriates $10 million from state bonds to fund specific infrastructure improvements along the Gunflint Trail National Scenic Byway in Cook County, Minnesota. The funding will resurface approximately 10 miles of deteriorating roadway, replace up to 16 culverts, construct up to four bridges, and improve emergency access for residents and visitors. These upgrades directly affect Cook County communities and users of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Superior National Forest recreational areas. The bill authorizes the state to issue bonds to cover the cost, with funds to be used for capital improvements within the northernmost 10 miles of the byway ending at Trails End Campground.
