Randolph Bridge replacement bond issue and appropriation

This bill appropriates $3.5 million from state transportation funds to replace the Randolph Avenue Bridge in St. Paul over the Union Pacific Railroad. The city of St. Paul will use these funds for designing, constructing, and rehabilitating the bridge and surrounding roadway (including utilities, signals, and sidewalks). The state will issue $3.5 million in bonds to cover this cost, following standard bond procedures under Minnesota law. The project specifically targets Randolph Avenue east of its intersection with Shepard Road (CSAH 37).
