The bill proposes the appropriation of funds for the replacement of the Robert Street viaduct in St. Paul, contingent upon the potential rescission of federal funding through a RAISE grant. It defines key terms related to the project, including the scope of work which encompasses not only the viaduct replacement but also improvements to surrounding infrastructure such as sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, and transit access. The bill specifies that if the RAISE grant, amounting to $25 million, is rescinded by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT), $21.2 million will be appropriated from the trunk highway fund and an additional $3.8 million from the general fund to ensure the project's completion.

The appropriations are structured as one-time allocations, with the funds available until the project is completed. The bill emphasizes the importance of these funds in the event that federal support is withdrawn, ensuring that the necessary improvements to the viaduct and its surrounding area can still proceed. The effective date of this section is set for the day following its final enactment.
