Marked U.S. Highway 8 reconstruction funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

This bill authorizes the reconstruction of Marked U.S. Highway 8 in Minnesota, directing funds to the state Department of Transportation and Chisago County for engineering, design, and construction work. The legislation allocates $24 million from trunk highway bonds and $15 million from general obligation bonds to expand the road to four lanes, build frontage roads, and improve pedestrian and bike trails. Money from these bond sales will be used only after non-state funding sources are confirmed, and any previously planned resurfacing funds for this highway will be redirected to support the reconstruction project.
