The bill outlines the specific uses of the funds, which include engineering, inspection, and utility work related to the bridge and roadway.
Additionally, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $3,500,000 to finance the appropriation. The bond sale will be conducted in accordance with existing Minnesota statutes and constitutional provisions. The effective date of this section is set for the day following its final enactment.
