Interstate Highway 35 and Scott County State-Aid Highway 2 interchange funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 1694 appropriates $4.5 million from state bond proceeds to fund planning, design, environmental review, engineering, and land acquisition for reconstructing the interchange between Interstate Highway 35 and Scott County State-Aid Highway 2. The bill authorizes the state to issue up to $4.5 million in bonds, with proceeds deposited into the trunk highway fund to cover these specific project costs. This funding directly supports the Minnesota Department of Transportation (commissioner of transportation) in advancing the interchange project. The bill affects Scott County residents and commuters who use this highway corridor by enabling improvements to this specific transportation junction.
