Redwood Falls; bridge restoration funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

This bill authorizes the state to issue up to $1.3 million in bonds to fund the restoration of the historic 1938 WPA Swayback Bridge in Redwood Falls, Minnesota. The appropriated funds will specifically cover design work and repairs such as replacing cofferdam access stones and tuckpointing to protect the bridge's granite and masonry exterior. By exempting this project from certain state statutes, the legislation streamlines the process for the city to receive the grant and begin construction. The bill becomes effective immediately upon final passage by the legislature.
