Rockville Trunk Highway 23 intersections study appropriation

This bill appropriates $1.5 million from the general fund for a one-time study of three intersections on Trunk Highway 23 in Rockville. The study will evaluate whether underpasses, overpasses, or tunnels would best improve safety at the intersections of Highway 23 with Stearns County Highways 47 and 82, and County Road 140. The bill explicitly prohibits considering J-turns as an option during the study. The funding is for fiscal year 2026 and directly affects transportation planning in Rockville.
