The Trump administration’s $1 trillion infrastructure promise is starting small — with a reboot — and shifting greater responsibility onto states and municipalities.

Minnesota Department of Agriculture officials have rejected a request by the state’s trucking association to delay a plan to increase the mix of biofuel to 20% of all diesel sold in the state beginning May 1.

Minnesota has repaired or replaced about 120 bridges in the past decade as part of a special funding program authorized after an Interstate 35W span plunged into the Mississippi River, killing 13 people and injuring 145 others.

The joints had been fixed and fresh asphalt laid over 40-year-old concrete on Interstate 94 between downtown Minneapolis and Brooklyn Center. But before traffic even started to roll over the new multimillion-dollar freeway, the pavement buckled in five places from the 90-degree June heat, leading to higher costs and more delays.

The Minnesota House on March 31 approved a $2.2 billion transportation plan that would boost state spending on roads and bridges and likely force cuts to public transit.

House Republicans unveiled a 10-year, $6 billion package for roads and bridges without a gas tax increase at a March 21 news conference.

WASHINGTON — President-elect Trump’s pledge to spend billions of dollars on new road and bridge projects could dramatically reshape Minnesota’s transportation priorities, potentially bringing private investment to finance massive public works projects.

Winter truck load increases will begin Dec. 16 on unrestricted highways in the north and north central frost zones, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

The funding gap for Minnesota transportation needs is projected to be about $18 billion over the next 20 years, and that's based on a strategy focused on preservation and not expansion, according to an official with the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

With its session set to end May 23, Minnesota’s Democratic-led Senate and Republican-controlled House might be getting closer to passing a transportation funding package worth $1 billion annually.
