The Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting

WE NEED YOUR PROXY VOTE
A STOCKHOLDER MAY THINK ITS VOTE IS NOT IMPORTANT,
BUT IT IS VITAL. PARTICULARLY IN LIGHT OF THE BOARD DECLASSIFICATION PROPOSAL SUBMITTED BY THE SABA ACTIVIST HEDGE FUND, YOUR VOTE
IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. IF THE BOARD DE-CLASSIFICATION PROPOSAL IS IMPLEMENTED, AN ACTIVIST INVESTOR COULD WREST AWAY CONTROL OF THE BOARD
AT A SINGLE STOCKHOLDER MEETING. THIS COULD CAUSE THE FUND TO TAKE SHORT TERM-FOCUSED ACTIONS AT THE EXPENSE OF LONG-TERM STOCKHOLDERS.
YOUR VOTE IS CRITICAL, NO MATTER HOW MANY SHARES YOU OWN, SO PLEASE RETURN YOUR PROXY CARD OR OTHERWISE VOTE PROMPTLY. YOU AND
ALL OTHER STOCKHOLDERS WILL BENEFIT FROM YOUR COOPERATION.
BNY MELLON MUNICIPAL BOND
INFRASTRUCTURE FUND, INC.
PROXY
STATEMENT
Annual Meeting of Stockholders
to be held on September 12, 2025
This proxy statement is furnished in connection
with a solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of BNY Mellon Municipal Bond Infrastructure Fund, Inc.
(the "Fund"), a closed-end investment company organized as a Maryland corporation, to be used at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders
of the Fund (the "Meeting") to be held over the Internet in a virtual meeting format only on Friday, September 12, 2025
at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, and at any and all adjournments or postponements thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying
Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Stockholders of record at the close of business on June 25, 2025 (the "Record
Date") are entitled to receive notice of the Meeting and to vote on the proposals. Stockholders will not be able to attend the Meeting
physically, but may participate over the Internet as described in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Stockholders are entitled to one vote for each
Fund share held and fractional votes for each fractional Fund share held as of the Record Date. Shares represented by executed and unrevoked
proxies will be voted in accordance with the specifications made thereon. If the enclosed proxy card is properly executed and returned,
or if you have voted by telephone or over the Internet, your vote nevertheless may be revoked after it is received by sending a written
notice of revocation to the proxy tabulator at the address listed on the proxy card or by mailing a duly executed proxy card bearing a
later date; you may also change your vote by calling the toll-free telephone number listed under "To vote by Telephone" on the
proxy card or over the Internet by going to the website listed on the proxy card and following the instructions on the website. To be
effective, such revocation or vote change must be received before your prior proxy is exercised at the Meeting. If you hold shares through
a bank or other intermediary, please consult your bank or intermediary regarding your ability to revoke voting instructions after such
instructions have been provided. In addition, any stockholder who attends the Meeting virtually may vote over the Internet during the
Meeting, thereby canceling any proxy previously given.
A quorum is constituted for the Fund by the presence
in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting. Virtual attendance
at the Meeting shall constitute in person attendance for purposes of calculating a quorum. If a quorum is not present at the Meeting,
the chairperson of the Meeting or the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation
of proxies for the Fund. If a proposal is to be voted upon by only one class of the Fund's shares, a quorum of that class of shares (the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
2
of the class) must be present in person or by
proxy at the Meeting in order for the proposal to be considered. The Fund has two classes of capital stock: Common Stock, par value $0.001
per share (the "Common Stock"), and Remarketable Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, par value $0.001 per share, liquidation
preference $100,000 per share (the "RVMTP Shares").
As of June 25, 2025, the Fund had outstanding
the following number of shares:
Common Stock
Outstanding |
RVMTP Shares
Outstanding |
18,405,972.803 |
750 |
This Meeting is very important. A hedge fund,
Saba Capital Master Fund, Ltd. (the "Saba Activist Hedge Fund"), and its investment adviser, Saba Capital Management L.P., have
submitted a non-binding proposal to declassify the Board (the "Board De-Classification Proposal"). The Board unanimously recommends
that you vote FOR the Board Nominees and AGAINST the Board De-Classification Proposal. Please read this proxy statement carefully and
vote as recommended by the Board in order to preserve the Fund's continuity of management and to prevent Saba Capital Management L.P.
advancing its agenda.
The Board believes that the Board Nominees have
the skills, qualifications and requisite experience in overseeing investment companies like the Fund to act in the best interests of ALL
stockholders. For the reasons discussed in this proxy statement, the Board also believes that a classified board structure continues to
be in the best interest of the Fund.
It is estimated that proxy materials will be mailed
to stockholders of record on or about August 8, 2025. To reduce expenses, only one copy of this proxy statement will be mailed to
certain addresses shared by two or more accounts. If you wish to revoke this arrangement and receive individual copies, you may do so
at any time by writing to the address or calling the phone number set forth below. The Fund will begin sending you individual copies promptly
after receiving your request. The principal executive office of the Fund is located at 240 Greenwich Street, 18th Floor,
New York, New York 10286.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Board is divided into three classes with the
term of office of one class expiring each year. It is proposed that stockholders of the Fund consider the election of three Class II Directors
to serve for three-year terms and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. The individual nominees (the "Board
Nominees") proposed for election are Messrs. J. Charles Cardona and Nathan Leventhal and Ms. Robin A. Melvin.
Each Board Nominee currently serves as a Director
of the Fund and is a board member of certain other funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds. Each Board Nominee has previously been elected
by the Fund's stockholders. Each Board Nominee was nominated by the Fund's nominating committee, has consented to being named in this
proxy statement and has agreed to continue to serve as a Director of the Fund if elected.
Biographical information about each Board Nominee
is set forth below. Biographical information about the Fund's Directors who are not standing for election at the Meeting but who will
continue to be Directors of the Fund after the Meeting (each, a "Continuing Director"), information on each Board Nominee's
and Continuing Director's ownership of Fund shares and other relevant information is set forth in Exhibit A to this proxy statement. None
of the Nominees or Continuing Directors are deemed to be "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the "1940 Act")) of the Fund.
Under the 1940 Act and the terms of the Fund's
Charter, holders of RVMTP Shares voting as a single class are entitled, to the exclusion of holders of Common Stock, to elect two Directors.
Mr. Leventhal, one of the Fund's two RVMTP Shares designees, is a Nominee for election by holders of the Fund's RVMTP Shares as a Class
II Director.
Voting with regard to the election of the Nominees
will be as follows: holders of the Fund's Common Stock and holders of the RVMTP Shares will vote together as a single class with respect
to the election of Ms. Melvin and Mr. Cardona as Class II Directors and holders of the RVMTP Shares will vote separately, to the exclusion
of holders of the Common Stock, with respect to the election of Mr. Leventhal as a Class II Director.
The persons named as proxies on the accompanying
proxy card intend to vote the proxy for the election of the Board Nominees, unless stockholders specifically indicate on their proxies
the desire to withhold authority to vote for elections to office. It is not contemplated that any Board Nominee will be unable to serve
as a Director for any reason, but, if that should occur prior to the Meeting, the Board reserves the right to substitute another person
or persons of its choice as nominee or nominees.
Board's Oversight Role in Management. The
Board's role in management of the Fund is oversight. As is the case with virtually all investment companies (as
5
distinguished from operating companies), service
providers to the Fund, primarily BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc., the Fund's investment adviser (the "Investment Adviser"),
Insight North America LLC, the Fund's sub-adviser and an affiliate of the Investment Adviser (the "Sub-Adviser"), and their
affiliates have responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Fund, which includes responsibility for risk management (including
management of investment risk, valuation risk, issuer and counterparty credit risk, compliance risk and operational risk). As part of
its oversight, the Board, acting at its scheduled meetings, or the Chairman, acting between Board meetings, regularly interacts with and
receives reports from senior personnel of service providers, including senior personnel of the Investment Adviser, the Sub-Adviser and
their affiliates, the Fund's and the Investment Adviser's Chief Compliance Officer and portfolio management personnel. The Board's Audit
Committee (which consists of all Directors) meets during its regularly scheduled and special meetings, and between meetings the Audit
Committee chair is available to the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm and the Fund's Chief Financial Officer. The Board
also receives periodic presentations from senior personnel of the Investment Adviser, the Sub-Adviser or their affiliates regarding risk
management generally, as well as periodic presentations regarding specific operational, compliance or investment areas, such as cybersecurity,
business continuity, personal trading, valuation, credit and investment research. As warranted, the Board also receives informational
reports from counsel to the Fund and the Board's independent legal counsel regarding regulatory compliance and governance matters. The
Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to address certain risks to the Fund. In addition, the Investment Adviser, the Sub-Adviser
and other service providers to the Fund have adopted a variety of policies, procedures and controls designed to address particular risks
to the Fund. Different processes, procedures and controls are employed with respect to different types of risks. However, it is not possible
to eliminate all of the risks applicable to the Fund, and the Board's risk management oversight is subject to inherent limitations.
Board Composition and Leadership Structure.
The 1940 Act requires that at least 40% of the Fund's Directors not be "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of
the Fund ("Independent Directors") and as such are not affiliated with the Investment Adviser. To rely on certain exemptive
rules under the 1940 Act, a majority of the Fund's Directors must be Independent Directors, and for certain important matters, such as
the approval of the Fund's investment advisory agreement or transactions with affiliates, the 1940 Act or the rules thereunder require
the approval of a majority of the Independent Directors. Currently, all of the Fund's Directors, including the Chairman of the Board,
are Independent Directors. The Board has determined that its leadership structure, in which the Chairman of the Board is not affiliated
with the Investment Adviser, is appropriate in light of the specific characteristics and circumstances of the Fund, including, but not
limited to: (i) the services that the Investment Adviser, the Sub-Adviser and their affiliates provide to the Fund and potential conflicts
of interest that could arise from these relationships; (ii) the extent to which the day-to-day operations of the Fund are
6
conducted by Fund officers and employees of the
Investment Adviser, the Sub-Adviser and their affiliates; and (iii) the Board's oversight role in management of the Fund.
Information About Each Board Nominee's and
Continuing Director's Experience, Qualifications, Attributes or Skills. Board Nominees for Director of the Fund, together with information
as to their positions with the Fund, principal occupations and other board memberships for the past five years, are shown below. The address
of each Board Nominee is 240 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10286. Specific information about the Continuing Directors of the Fund,
information on each Board Nominee's and Continuing Director's ownership of Fund shares and other relevant information is set forth in

The Board
is comprised of a diverse and highly experienced group of Directors and advisory board members who each bring significant expertise and
leadership experience to the Board. Each Nominee, except Mr. Cardona, has been a BNY Mellon Family of Funds board member for over
20 years. Mr. Cardona was an employee of The Dreyfus Corporation, the predecessor of the Investment Adviser, for over 30 years prior to
his retirement in 2016. Additional information about each Board Nominee follows (supplementing the information provided in the table above)
that describes some of the specific experiences, qualifications, attributes or skills that each Board Nominee possesses which the Board
believes has prepared them to be effective Directors (this information for the Continuing Directors is set forth in Exhibit A). The Board
believes that the significance of each Director's experience, qualifications, attributes or skills is an individual matter (meaning that
experience that is important for one Director may not have the same value for another) and that these factors are best evaluated at the
Board level, with no single Director, or particular factor, being indicative of Board effectiveness. However, the Board believes that
Directors need to have the ability to critically review, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, and to interact
effectively with Fund management, service providers and counsel, in order to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of
their duties; the Board believes that its members satisfy this standard. Experience relevant to having this ability may be achieved through
a Director's educational background; business, professional training or practice (e.g., medicine, accounting or law), public service or
academic positions; experience from service as a board member (including the Board of the Fund) or as an executive of investment funds,
public companies or significant private or not-for-profit entities or other organizations; and/or other life experiences. The charter
for the Board's nominating committee contains certain other factors considered by the committee in identifying and evaluating potential
Director nominees. To assist them in evaluating matters under federal and state law, the Directors are counseled by their independent
legal counsel, who participates in Board meetings and interacts with the Investment Adviser and also may benefit from information provided
by the Investment Adviser's counsel; counsel to the Fund and to the Board has significant experience advising funds and fund board members.
The Board and its committees have the ability to engage other experts as appropriate. The Board also has an "advisory board"
as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(1) of the 1940 Act, which currently has two members. The Board evaluates its performance on an
annual basis.

Fund Board Committees. The Fund has standing
Audit, Nominating, Compensation and Litigation Committees, each comprised of its Independent Directors, except that Mr. Joseph S. DiMartino
does not serve on the Compensation Committee.
10
The function of the Audit Committee is (1) to
oversee the Fund's accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the Fund's financial statements and (2) to assist in
the Board's oversight of the integrity of the Fund's financial statements, the Fund's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements
and the qualifications, independence and performance of the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm. A copy of the Fund's
Audit Committee Charter, which describes the Audit Committee's purposes, duties and responsibilities, is available at www.bny.com/closed-end-funds
in the "BNY Audit Committee Charter" section under "Investments – Closed End Funds".
The Fund's Nominating Committee is responsible
for selecting and nominating persons as members of the Board for election or appointment by the Board and for election by stockholders.
In evaluating potential nominees, including any nominees recommended by stockholders, the Committee takes into consideration the factors
listed in the Fund's Nominating Committee Charter and Procedures (the "Nominating Committee Charter"), including character,
integrity, and business and professional experience. The Nominating Committee may consider whether a potential nominee's professional
experience, education, skills and other individual qualities and attributes, including gender, race or national origin, would provide
beneficial diversity of skills, experience or perspective to the Board's membership and collective attributes. Such considerations will
vary based on the Board's existing membership and other factors, such as the strength of a potential nominee's overall qualifications
relative to diversity considerations. The Committee will consider recommendations for nominees from stockholders submitted to the Secretary
of the Fund, c/o BNY Legal Department, 240 Greenwich Street, 18th Floor, New York, New York 10286, and including information
regarding the recommended nominee as specified in the Nominating Committee Charter. The Nominating Committee Charter is not available
on the Fund's or the Investment Adviser's website, but it is attached as Exhibit B to this proxy statement.
The function of the Compensation Committee is
to establish the appropriate compensation for serving on the Board.
The Litigation Committee seeks to address any
potential conflicts of interest between the Fund and the Investment Adviser in connection with any potential or existing litigation or
other legal proceeding related to securities held by the Fund and held or otherwise deemed to have a beneficial interest held by the Investment
Adviser or its affiliate.
Compensation. Each Board Nominee also serves
as a board member of certain other funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds. Annual retainer fees and meeting attendance fees are allocated
among the Fund and those other funds on the basis of net assets, with the Chairman of the Board, Mr. DiMartino, receiving an additional
25% of such compensation. The Fund reimburses Directors for travel and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with attending Board or committee
meetings. The Fund does not have a bonus, pension, profit-sharing or retirement plan.
11
The amount of compensation paid to each Board
Nominee by the Fund for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025, and the aggregate amount of compensation paid to each Board Nominee by

forth in Exhibit A. Certain other information concerning the Fund's Directors and officers also is set forth in Exhibit A.
Required Vote and Directors' Recommendation
Provided a quorum is present, the election of

THE BOARD, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, UNANIMOUSLY
RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE BOARD NOMINEES.
12
PROPOSAL 2: BOARD DE-CLASSIFICATION PROPOSAL
On March 4, 2025, the Fund received notice from the Saba Activist
Hedge Fund, through its investment adviser Saba Capital Management, L.P. (together with the Saba Activist Hedge Fund, "Saba"),
of its intention to include a proposal (the "Board De-Classification Proposal") at the Meeting. The Board De-Classification
Proposal is non-binding and requests that the Board take certain actions if approved by stockholders.
FOR THE REASONS DISCUSSED
BELOW, THE BOARD STRONGLY SUPPORTS ITS EXISTING STRUCTURE AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "AGAINST"
THE BOARD DE-CLASSIFICATION PROPOSAL.
The text of the Board De-Classification Proposal, for which the Fund
accepts no responsibility, is included below exactly as submitted by the Saba Activist Hedge Fund. A brief explanation of the reasons
the Board recommends "AGAINST" this proposal follows immediately after the proposal.
NON-BINDING PROPOSAL BY
THE SABA ACTIVIST HEDGE FUND
RESOLVED, that the shareholders of BNY Mellon
Municipal Bond Infrastructure, Inc. (the "Fund")
request that the Board of Directors of the Fund (the "Board")
take all necessary steps in its power to declassify the Board so that all directors are elected on an annual basis starting at the next
annual meeting of shareholders. Such declassification shall be completed in a manner that does not affect the unexpired terms of the previously
elected directors.
OPPOSING
STATEMENT BY THE BOARD
After careful and thoughtful
consideration, the Board, including the Independent Directors, has unanimously determined that the Board De-Classification Proposal is not in
the best interests of the Fund or its stockholders. Accordingly, the Board recommends that you vote "AGAINST"
the Board De-Classification Proposal.
The Board believes that it is
in the best interest of the Fund, as a closed-end, exchange traded investment company subject to extensive regulation by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), to continue to have a classified board structure. The Board is comprised of highly qualified
individuals that are, and have been, committed to the Fund's long-term ability to achieve its investment objective to provide as high
a level of current income exempt from regular federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital. The Board believes
that the classified board structure continues to provide the Fund and its stockholders with important benefits, including strengthening
the independence of the Board and providing stability and continuity of management.
13
Classified Board Enhances
Board Independence. Electing directors to three-year terms enhances the independence of the Independent Directors by providing them
with a longer term of office. This longer term provides additional independence from management and from activists whose agendas may be
contrary to the long-term interests of the Fund and its stockholders. Without the protective benefits provided by a classified board structure,
a well-funded, special interest hedge fund or other activist stockholder (or group of stockholders) could wrest away control of the Fund
and cause the Fund to take short term-focused actions at the expense of long-term stockholders. As a result of having a classified board
structure, the Directors are able to make decisions that are in the best interest of the Fund and all stockholders of the
Fund.
Classified Board Promotes
Stability and Continuity in a Complex Fund. The Fund may use complex investment techniques to meet its investment objective, and the
regulations to which the Fund is subject are also complicated. It takes time to master these complexities. The Board has from inception
been divided into three classes that serve staggered three-year terms. The Board is structured this way to provide stability, continuity
and independence, all of which enhance long-term planning. It also ensures that there are experienced Directors serving on the Board who
are familiar with the Fund, its operations, its investment strategy and its regulatory requirements. The Fund's Directors have a broad
range of responsibilities and must invest significant time to become and remain knowledgeable about the Fund. A classified board helps
attract and retain qualified Directors who are willing to make long-term, multi-year commitments of their time and energy to the Fund
and willing to develop a deep understanding of the Fund. In addition, a classified board structure promotes an orderly succession of Directors
and also provides newer Directors an opportunity to gain knowledge about the Fund alongside more experienced Directors. A classified board
structure therefore provides the Fund with protection from activist stockholders with narrower interests that are not shared by the Fund's
other long-term investors. Absent the classified board, however, an activist stockholder (or group of stockholders) could gain control
of the Fund by acquiring or obtaining enough shares to replace the entire Board with its own nominees at a single annual meeting. Large,
sudden changes in the composition of the Board would disrupt this collective knowledge that has been developed by the existing Board over
time. This could also result in radical changes to the way the Fund is operated — even changes to the closed-end structure that
attracted stockholders to the Fund in the first place. For example, if an activist shareholder were to gain control of the Fund and force
it to approve a conversion to an open-end fund, such conversion would require the Fund to redeem its RVMTP Shares at a price equal to
such RVMTP Shares' liquidation preference plus any accumulated dividends or other distributions, thereby decreasing the total asset size
of the Fund, and require the Fund to sell portfolio holdings under unfavorable market conditions adversely affecting the net asset value
per share of the Fund's Common Stock. Ultimately, the classified structure prevents a complete turnover of the Board, and
14
protects stockholders from a corresponding radical change in direction,
in any one year.
Directors are Accountable
and Owe Fiduciary Duties to All Stockholders. Directors elected to three-year terms are just as accountable to stockholders as directors
elected annually, since all Directors are required to uphold their fiduciary duties to the Fund and its stockholders regardless of the
lengths of their terms. The Board has implemented measures to ensure accountability of the Directors by providing for annual evaluations
of Director independence and an annual self-assessment of the Board's performance. The Board reviews matters relating to the Fund, including
performance matters and trading discounts, on an ongoing basis and seeks to balance the interests of ALL stockholders of the Fund.
The Fund's stockholders already have a variety of tools at their disposal to ensure that the Directors who are elected to the Board are
accountable to them, including withholding votes from the Directors who are standing for election each year and communications with Directors
to express stockholder concerns. A structure that generally requires multiple elections to take control of the Board provides accountability
to stockholders while increasing the likelihood that proponents of change have a longer-term horizon.
Closed-End, Exchange-Traded
Investment Companies are Fundamentally Different from Operating Companies. The considerations and role of a board of a closed-end,
exchange traded investment company like the Fund are different in material respects to the role of a board of directors of a traditional
operating company. For example, an investment company's board has the primary responsibility for oversight of the fund's service providers
and management of any conflicts of interest involving the fund, including oversight of the fund's investment advisory arrangements. A
traditional operating company does not have investment advisers and is not subject to the same types of conflicts of interests that an
investment company's board is required to oversee. Additionally, an investment company registered pursuant to the 1940 Act is subject
to extensive regulation with respect to governance and operations that requires independence of its board members and makes them accountable
to stockholders. In contrast, operating companies are not subject to these board independence requirements. Accordingly, the Board believes
that a classified board structure is consistent with good corporate governance, which depends principally on active and independent board
members who have extensive business experience and are knowledgeable about critical aspects of the Fund.
Classified Board was Part
of Original Fund Structure. The Fund was originally offered to investors with a classified board as an integral part of its structure.
Moreover, the Fund's Articles of Incorporation (the "Charter") provide that the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the outstanding
shares of the Fund is required to de-classify the Board structure. Because of this, even if the non-binding Board De-Classification Proposal
is approved by stockholders at the Meeting, the Fund will
15
not be able to effectuate an amendment to the Charter to implement
the proposed de-
classification the Board unless it separately obtains the affirmative
vote of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.
Required Vote and Directors' Recommendation
Provided a quorum is present, approval of the
non-binding Board De-Classification Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders of the
Fund.
THE
BOARD, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "AGAINST" THE BOARD DE-CLASSIFICATION
PROPOSAL.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Selection of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm

registered public accounting firm (the "independent auditors" or "auditors") be selected by a majority of the Independent
Directors. The Audit Committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the Fund's independent

Fund's fiscal year ending February 28, 2026. EY, a major international accounting firm, has acted as independent auditors of the Fund
since the Fund's organization. The Audit Committee's report relating to the Fund's financial statements for the fiscal year ended February
28, 2026 is attached as Exhibit C to this proxy statement.

specific case-by-case consideration. The pre-approved services in the Policy can include pre-approved audit services, pre-approved audit-related
services, pre-approved tax services and pre-approved all other services. Pre-approval considerations include whether the proposed services
are compatible with maintaining EY's independence. Pre-approvals pursuant to the Policy are considered annually. In addition, proposed
services requiring pre-approval but not covered by the Policy are considered from time to time as necessary.
Auditor Independence. The Fund's
Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates that did not require
pre-approval is compatible with maintaining EY's independence.
A representative of EY will be available to join
the Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

envelope. |
| · | Over the Internet. Have your proxy card available. Go to the website listed on the proxy card.

| · | At the Meeting. You will not be able to attend the Meeting physically, but you may attend the Meeting
virtually. Any stockholder who attends the Meeting virtually may vote over the Internet (see above) during the Meeting. |
Shares represented by properly executed and unrevoked
proxies will be voted in accordance with the specifications made thereon, and, if no voting instructions are given, shares will be voted
"for" the election of the Board Nominees and "against" the Board Classification Proposal.
If a proxy is properly executed and returned accompanied
by instructions to withhold authority to vote or represents a broker "non-vote" (that is, a proxy from a broker
18
or nominee indicating that such person has not
received instructions from the beneficial owner or other person entitled to vote shares of the Fund on a particular matter with respect
to which the broker or nominee does not have discretionary power), the Fund's shares represented thereby will be considered to be present
at the Meeting for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum for the transaction of business, but will not constitute a vote "for"
a proposal and will have no effect on the result of the vote.
The cost of preparing, printing and mailing this
proxy statement and the attached Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the accompanying proxy card, as well as the costs associated
with the proxy solicitation, which is estimated to total approximately $8,147, will be borne by the Fund. In addition to the use of the
mail, proxies may be solicited by telephone. Authorizations to execute proxies may be obtained by electronic transmission or by telephonic
instructions in accordance with procedures designed to authenticate the stockholder's identity. In all cases where a telephonic proxy
is solicited (as opposed to where the stockholder calls the toll-free telephone number directly to vote), the stockholder will be asked
to provide or confirm certain identifiable information and to confirm that the stockholder has received the proxy statement and proxy
card in the mail. Within 72 hours of receiving a stockholder's solicited telephonic voting instructions, a confirmation will be sent to
the stockholder to ensure that the vote has been taken in accordance with the stockholder's instructions and to provide a telephone number
to call immediately if the stockholder's instructions are not correctly reflected in the confirmation.
OTHER MATTERS
The Fund's Board is not aware of any other matter
which may come before the Meeting. However, should any such matter properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons

EXHIBIT B
THE BNY MELLON FAMILY OF FUNDS
BNY MELLON FUNDS TRUST
Nominating Committee Charter and Procedures
ORGANIZATION
The Nominating Committee (the "Committee")
of the fund in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds (each, the "Fund") shall be composed solely of Directors/Trustees ("Directors")
who are not "interested persons" (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act")) of the Fund ("Independent Directors"). The Board of Directors of the Fund (the "Board") shall select the
members of the Committee and shall designate the Chairperson of the Committee.
RESPONSIBILITIES
The Committee shall select and nominate persons
for election or appointment by the Board as Directors of the Fund and as Advisory Board Members (as defined below) of the Fund.
EVALUATION OF POTENTIAL NOMINEES
The Board believes that Directors need to have
the ability to critically review, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, and to interact effectively with Fund management,
service providers and counsel, in order to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties. In evaluating potential
Director nominees (including any nominees recommended by stockholders as provided below) in light of this standard, and to address certain
legal and other requirements and considerations associated with composition of the Board, the Committee shall consider, among other factors
it may deem relevant:
| · | the character and integrity of the person; |
| · | whether or not the person is qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Director of the Fund; |
| · | whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her service on the Board; |
| · | whether nomination of the person would be consistent with Fund policy and applicable laws and regulations regarding the number and
percentage of Independent Directors on the Board; |
| · | whether or not the person serves on boards of, or is otherwise affiliated with, competing financial service organizations or their
related fund complexes; |
B-1
| · | whether or not the person is willing to serve and is willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties
and responsibilities of a Director of the Fund; and |
| · | the educational background; business, professional training or practice (e.g., medicine, accounting or law), public service
or academic positions; experience from service as a board member (including the Board) or as an executive of investment funds, public
companies or significant private or not-for-profit entities or other organizations; and/or other life experiences. |
In addition, the Committee may consider whether
a potential nominee's professional experience, education, skills and other individual qualities and attributes, including gender, race
or national origin, would provide beneficial diversity of skills, experience or perspective to the Board's membership and collective attributes.
Such considerations will vary based on the Board's existing membership and other factors, such as the strength of a potential nominee's
overall qualifications relative to diversity considerations.
While the Committee is solely responsible for
the selection and nomination of Directors and Advisory Board Members, the Committee may consider nominees for Independent Director recommended
by Fund stockholders. The Committee will consider recommendations for nominees from stockholders sent to the Secretary of the Fund, c/o
BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. Legal Department, 240 Greenwich Street, 18th Floor, New York, New York 10286. A nomination
submission must include all information relating to the recommended nominee that is required to be disclosed in solicitations or proxy
statements for the election of Directors, as well as information sufficient to evaluate the factors listed above. Nomination submissions
must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board and to serve if elected by
the stockholders, and such additional information must be provided regarding the recommended nominee as reasonably requested by the Committee.
The Committee shall have the authority to retain
and terminate any search firm or other consultant to be used to identify and/or conduct a background check with respect to Independent
Director and/or Advisory Board member candidates, including the authority to approve its fees and other retention terms. The Committee
is empowered to cause the Fund to pay the compensation of any search firm or other consultant engaged by the Committee.
NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS
After a determination by the Committee that a
person should be selected and nominated as a Director of the Fund, the Committee shall present its recommendation to the full Board for
its consideration.
B-2
ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS
The Committee may from time to time propose nominations
of one or more individuals to serve as members of an "advisory board," as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(1) of the 1940
Act ("Advisory Board Members"). An individual shall be eligible to serve as an Advisory Board Member only if that individual
meets the requirements to be an Independent Director (subject to the Committee's evaluation of the factors set forth above for consideration
of potential Board nominees) and does not otherwise serve the Fund in any other capacity. An Advisory Board Member shall not have voting
rights with respect to matters pertaining to the Fund. Any Advisory Board Member shall serve at the pleasure of the Board and may be removed,
at any time, with or without cause, by the Board. An Advisory Board Member subsequently may be appointed as an Independent Director, or
nominated and elected as an Independent Director, at which time he or she shall cease to be an Advisory Board Member. Any Advisory Board
Member may resign at any time.
REVIEW OF CHARTER AND PROCEDURES
The Committee shall review the charter and procedures
from time to time, as it considers appropriate.
B-3
EXHIBIT C
REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
BNY Mellon Municipal Bond Infrastructure Fund, Inc.
May 21, 2025
The Audit Committee (the "Committee")
oversees the Fund's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the
financial statements and the reporting process including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities,
the Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report with management, including a discussion of
the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of
disclosures in the financial statements.
The Committee reviewed with the Fund's independent
registered public accounting firm (the "independent auditors" or "auditors"), who are responsible for expressing an
opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, their judgment as to the
quality, not just the acceptability, of the Fund's accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the
Committee under the applicable standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and Securities
and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Committee discussed with the independent auditors the auditors' independence from management
and the Fund, including the auditors' letter and the matters in the written disclosures required by the PCAOB, and considered the compatibility
of non-audit services with the auditors' independence.
The Committee met with the independent auditors,
with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Fund's internal controls,
and the overall quality of the Fund's financial reporting.
Based on the reviews and discussions referred
to above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and the Board approved) that the audited financial statements for the Fund
be included in the Fund's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended February 28, 2025.
