The funded project encompasses storm sewer replacement, curb and gutter installation, sidewalk and pedestrian ramp construction, and sanitary sewer and water main improvements along the specified road segments.

This formula grant award supports MnDOT's delivery of comprehensive transportation and public infrastructure improvements that enhance public safety, drainage systems, and pedestrian accessibility. As a federally-assisted state-administered program under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Highway Planning and Construction program provides statutory formula allocations to state departments of transportation for highway and related transportation infrastructure projects selected through established state and local transportation planning processes.
