Appropriation for highway interchange redirected

A General Fund appropriation from a 2023 law for design and construction of an interchange at U.S. Highway 169, Trunk Highway 282 and Scott County Highway 9 in Jordan has been revised.

Instead of directing a grant to Scott County, the funds will instead be provided to the Department of Transportation.

The law also directs the Department of Transportation to authorize lighting for a Shakopee identification sign on a bridge over U.S. Highway 169 near its interchange with Trunk Highway 101. Installation and maintenance of the lighting is the responsibility of the city of Shakopee.

Sponsored by Rep. Ben Bakeberg (R-Jordan) and Sen. Eric Pratt (R-Prior Lake), the law took effect on April 11, 2025.
