Cities of North St. Paul and Oakdale Trunk Highway 36 and Trunk Highway 120 grade-separated interchange appropriation

This bill appropriates $3 million from the general fund for the preliminary design of a grade-separated interchange at the intersection of Trunk Highway 36 and Trunk Highway 120 in North St. Paul and Oakdale. The funds are specifically for planning work, not construction, and are one-time only. The project will be managed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. This funding directly affects the cities of North St. Paul and Oakdale by advancing plans for a new highway interchange at that location.
