Chisago County intersection improvements bond issue and appropriation

This bill appropriates $18 million from state transportation funds to construct roundabouts at four specific intersections in Chisago County: Shafer (U.S. Highway 8 and County Highway 21), Almelund (U.S. Highway 95 and County Highway 12), Sunrise (U.S. Highway 95 and County Highway 9), and North Branch (U.S. Highway 95 and County Road 67). The funds cover environmental analysis, design, engineering, and construction for these safety improvements. The state will issue bonds up to $18 million to finance the project, with proceeds deposited into the trunk highway fund. These changes directly affect drivers and residents in those four Chisago County communities by upgrading traffic intersections.
