Join us on Friday, February 12th for a discussion on the distribution of state and federal highway funds and the Construction Let budget setting process
Highway and Bridge Fund Distribution
- Brian Gage, Transportation Planning Director, MnDOT will discuss the $300M in Trunk Highway Bonds authorized in the Capital Bonding bill passed in October, 2020. Of the $300 million in bonds, $25 million was set aside for Project Development and $84 million was designated to the State Road Construction Program. Learn more about how those dollars will spent.
The Bonding bill also included funds for the Local Bridge Replacement Program with $52 million earmarked for the 3rd Avenue/Kellogg bridge in St. Paul and $30 million available for other local bridges. Get an update on the distribution of these bridge bonds.
Minnesota will also receive an additional $163 million in Federal Highway Funds from the COVID relief bill passed by Congress in December. Learn more about the distribution of these additional federal highway funds.
Construction-Let Budget Setting Process
- Jay Hietpas, Transportation Division Engineer, MnDOT will discuss how MnDOT will establish project construction let budgets for all projects.
