The 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. It amends the existing law to allocate $4,900,000 from the general fund to the commissioner of transportation for the construction of the interchange, which will include accommodations for bicycles and pedestrians, rail grade separation, road work, and public utility relocations. The previous language that specified a grant to Scott County has been removed, streamlining the funding process directly to the commissioner.
Additionally, the bill establishes that this appropriation is a one-time allocation available until June 30, 2027. It also includes a new effective date provision, stating that the section will take effect the day following final enactment.
