The bill proposes appropriations for the replacement of the Robert Street viaduct in St. Paul, contingent upon the potential rescission of federal funding. It defines key terms related to the project, including the scope of work, which encompasses the replacement of the viaduct and associated improvements such as pedestrian crossings, sidewalks, transit access, and lighting. The bill specifies that if the $25 million RAISE grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) is rescinded, $21.2 million will be appropriated from the trunk highway fund and $3.8 million from the general fund to ensure the project's completion.

The appropriations are structured as one-time funding sources, available until the project is completed, and are aimed at covering both eligible and ineligible expenses related to the project. The bill emphasizes the importance of the viaduct replacement and associated infrastructure improvements for the community, ensuring that necessary funding is secured in the event of federal funding withdrawal. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day after final enactment.
