Several freight improvement projects were awarded millions of dollars in funding through three grant programs in Minnesota.
A total of $76.2 million was issued by the Minnesota Highway Freight Program (MHFP), the Transportation Economic Development Program, and the Corridors of Commerce Readiness Advancement Program.
MHFP’s funding included $1.7 million to replace truck parking information system sensors and install new safety cameras at seven rest areas. There is also $10 million for the I-35/I-90 Interchange Freight Safety and Mobility Project and $7 million to add lanes and improve signals to enhance freight mobility and safety in Dakota County. In addition, $2.4 million will be used to update statewide freight plans.
“Safety is always a guiding principle of our funding decisions, and these transportation projects will help us better serve our state for decades to come,” said MnDOT Commissioner Nancy Daubenberger.
