The funds come from the Minnesota Highway Freight Program, the Transportation Economic Development Program and the Corridors of Commerce Readiness Advancement Program.
Collectively, MnDOT said those three programs help fund and support important transportation projects supporting improvements to freight safety, access, mobility, first and last mile connections, railroads, and intermodal facilities, among others.

“Infrastructure investments in Minnesota help people get where they need to go safely, help businesses grow and make local communities attractive to companies looking to relocate or expand,” noted Nancy Daubenberger, MnDOT commissioner, in a statement.
“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,” she said.
