This bill modifies the appropriation for the construction of an interchange at the intersection of U.S. Highway 169 and Trunk Highway 282 in Scott County, specifically in the city of Jordan. It amends the previous legislation from Laws 2023, chapter 68, article 1, section 17, subdivision 10, by appropriating $4,900,000 from the general fund to the commissioner of transportation. The new language specifies that the funds will be used for the interchange project, which includes accommodations for bicycles and pedestrians, rail grade separation, road work, and public utility relocations. The previous provision that referred to a grant to Scott County has been deleted.
Additionally, the bill establishes that this appropriation is a one-time allocation available until June 30, 2027. It also includes a new effective date clause, stating that the section will take effect the day following final enactment.
