This bill appropriates $3,000,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2025 to the commissioner of transportation for the preliminary design of a grade-separated interchange at the intersection of Trunk Highway 36 and Trunk Highway 120, located in the cities of North St. Paul and Oakdale. The funding is designated as a one-time appropriation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.642.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that the effective date of this section will be the day following its final enactment. This ensures that the appropriation can be utilized promptly to facilitate the necessary planning and design work for the interchange project.
