Updates to roads and bridges, highway replacements and economic development are scheduled to move forward with a bond sale that was recently authorized by the St. Louis County Board.  The governing body authorized the sale of up to $25 million worth of bonds to fund the upcoming projects.

The bond sale is planned for August.

The funding will allow the county to make investments in the roadways that St. Louis County oversees.  As the largest county in the state (and one of the larger counties in the nation), St. Louis County encompasses more than 3,000 miles of roads and 600 bridges.

Along with maintenance and improvements to existing highways and roads, the funding will allow the county the ability to plan for the future.  Part of those plans include investment in projects that would help spur economic advancements.
