Annual Meeting of Stockholders
to be held on August 7, 2014

     This proxy statement is furnished in connection with a solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Dreyfus Municipal Bond Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) to be used at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Fund to be held on Thursday, August 7, 2014 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, at the offices of The Dreyfus Corporation (“Dreyfus” or the “Investment Adviser”), 200 Park Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10166 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 May 23, 2014 are entitled to be present and to vote at the meeting. Stockholders are entitled to one vote for each Fund share held and fractional votes for each fractional Fund share held. Shares represented by executed and unrevoked proxies will be voted in accordance with the specifications made thereon. If the enclosed form of proxy is executed and returned, it nevertheless may be revoked by another proxy given later. To be effective, such revocation must be received prior to the meeting. In addition, any stockholder who attends the meeting in person may vote by ballot at the meeting, thereby canceling any proxy previously given.

     A quorum is constituted by the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of one-third of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote at the meeting. If a quorum is not present at the meeting, the stockholders present in person or by proxy, by majority vote and without notice other than by announcement at the meeting, may adjourn the meeting. 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 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 Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares, par value $0.001 per share, liquidation preference $100,000 per share (the “VMTP Shares”).

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     The Fund’s Charter provides for three classes of Directors with overlapping three-year terms. The number of Directors currently is seven. It is proposed that stockholders of the Fund consider the election of two Class I Directors to serve for one-year terms, three Class II Directors to serve for two-year terms, and three Class III Directors to serve for three-year terms until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The individual nominees (the “Nominees”) proposed for election are listed below. Each Nominee currently serves as a Director of the Fund or other funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds. Each Nominee was nominated by the Fund’s nominating committee and has consented to being named in this proxy statement and has agreed to continue to serve as a Director if elected. Biographical information about each Nominee is set forth below. Information on each Nominee’s ownership of Fund shares and other relevant information is set forth on Exhibit A. Three of the seven Nominees, J. Charles Cardona, Gordon J. Davis and Isabel P. Dunst, are “interested persons,” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), of the Fund. Mr. Cardona is deemed to be an “interested person” of the Fund because of his positions with the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. Mr. Davis is deemed to be an “interested person” of the Fund as a result of his affiliation with Venable LLP, which provides legal services to the Fund. Ms. Dunst is deemed to be an “interested person” of the Fund because Hogan Lovells LLP, the law firm in which she is a partner, provides legal services to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”) and certain of its affiliates, but not to the Investment Adviser or the Fund. Ms. Dunst is not involved in these representations.

     Under the 1940 Act and the terms of the Fund’s Charter, holders of VMTP Shares voting as a single class are entitled, to the exclusion of holders of the Common Stock, to elect two Directors of the Fund. The VMTP Shares designees, Nathan Leventhal and Benaree Pratt Wiley, are Nominees for election by holders of VMTP Shares as a Class II Director and Class III Director, respectively.

     Voting with regard to the election of Directors will be as follows: holders of Common Stock and VMTP Shares will vote together as a single class with respect to the election of Mr. Davis and Roslyn Watson as Class I Directors, Mr. Cardona

2

and Robin Melvin as Class II Directors and Joseph S. DiMartino and Ms. Dunst as Class III Directors; and holders of VMTP Shares will vote separately, to the exclusion of holders of the Common Stock, with respect to the election of Mr. Leventhal and Ms. Wiley as a Class II Director and Class III Director, respectively.

     The persons named as proxies on the accompanying proxy card intend to vote each proxy for the election of the 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 Nominee will be unable to serve as a Director for any reason, but, if that should occur prior to the meeting, the proxyholders reserve the right to substitute another person or persons of their 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 distinguished from operating companies), service providers to the Fund, primarily the Investment Adviser and its 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 Fund’s and the Investment Adviser’s Chief Compliance Officer and portfolio management personnel. The Board’s audit committee (which consists of all Independent Directors, as defined below) 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 or its affiliates regarding risk management generally, as well as periodic presentations regarding specific operational, compliance or investment areas, such as business continuity, personal trading, valuation, credit and investment research. As warranted, the Board also receives informational reports from 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 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

3

majority of the Fund’s Directors must be Independent Directors, and for certain important matters, such as the approval of investment advisory agreements or transactions with affiliates, the 1940 Act or the rules thereunder require the approval of a majority of the Independent Directors. Should all of the Nominees be elected, all of the Fund’s Directors, including the Chairman of the Board, will be Independent Directors, except for Mr. Cardona, Mr. Davis and Ms. Dunst. 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 and its 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 conducted by Fund officers and employees of the Investment Adviser; and (iii) the Board’s oversight role in management of the Fund.

     Information About Each Nominee’s Experience, Qualifications, Attributes or Skills. 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 Nominee is 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166. Information on each Nominee’s ownership of Fund shares and other relevant information is set forth on Exhibit A.

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 evaluates its performance on an annual basis.

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 and 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 The Dreyfus Corporation Legal Department, 200 Park Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10166, and including information regarding the recommended nominee as specified in the Nominating Committee Charter.

Certain other information concerning the Fund’s Directors and officers also is set forth on Exhibit A.

     Director Emeritus Program. The Board has adopted an Emeritus Program to provide Directors who have served on the Board of one or more funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds for an extended period of time and who have attained a certain age a means for assuming a less demanding role with the Fund while maintaining an ongoing relationship with the Fund. The Board has determined that the continued guidance and input such experienced Directors can provide merited the establishment of the Program. Under the Board Member Emeritus Program, upon reaching age 72, a Director is entitled to elect Emeritus status with respect to the Fund if he or she has served on the Board of a fund for at least 10 years. Upon reaching age 80, Emeritus status is mandatory and becomes effective immediately, unless the Director chooses to retire at that time. The 10-year prerequisite for service as a Board member will be waived for a Director who reaches age 80 but has not served as a Board member of a fund for at least 10 years. Emeritus Directors are entitled to receive an annual retainer of one-half the amount paid as a retainer at the time the Director achieves Emeritus status and one-half the per meeting attendance fee in effect on the date of the meeting attended by the Emeritus Board member. Emeritus Directors are reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attending Board meetings. The Board Member Emeritus

11

Program will not extend to any future Directors of the Fund that are not currently on the Board of one or more funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds.

Required Vote

     The election of each Nominee requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of votes cast at the Fund’s meeting for the election of Directors.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

     The 1940 Act requires that the Fund’s independent 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 auditors. At a meeting held on April 24, 2014, the Fund’s audit committee approved and the Fund’s Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, ratified and approved the selection of Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as the Fund’s auditors for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2015. 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 year ended February 28, 2014 is attached as Exhibit C to this proxy statement.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Fees and Services

     The following chart reflects fees paid to EY in the Fund’s fiscal year ended February 28, 2014. For Service Affiliates (i.e., Dreyfus and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Dreyfus that provides ongoing services to the Fund), such fees represent only those fees that required pre-approval by the audit committee, except the Aggregate Non-Audit Fees amounts, which include all non-audit fees paid to EY by the Fund and Service Affiliates. All services provided by EY were pre-approved as required.

 

1	Services to the Fund consisted of (i) review or preparation of U.S. federal, state, local and excise tax
	returns; (ii) U.S. federal, state and local tax planning, advice and assistance regarding statutory,
	regulatory or administrative developments; and (iii) tax advice regarding tax qualification matters
	and/or treatment of various financial instruments held or proposed to be acquired or held.
2	Aggregate fees from the Fund and Service Affiliates are shown under the Service Affiliates column.

12

     Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. The Fund’s audit committee has established policies and procedures (the “Policy”) for pre-approval (within specified fee limits) of EY engagement for audit and non-audit services to the Fund and non-audit services to Service Affiliates without 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 is expected to be present at the meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

     Dreyfus, located at 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166, serves as the Fund’s investment adviser.

     To authorize proxies to vote your Fund shares, please complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card and mail it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

     The Fund will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone, and the Fund may pay persons holding shares of the Fund in their names or those of their nominees for their expenses in sending soliciting materials to their principals. 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, the stockholder will be asked to provide or confirm certain identifiable information and to confirm that the stockholder has received the Fund’s proxy statement and

Shares represented by 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 proposals.

     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 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.

Nominating Committee Charter and Procedures

Organization

     The Nominating Committee (the “Committee”) of each fund in the Dreyfus Family of Funds (each, the “Fund”) shall be composed solely of Directors/Trustees (“Directors”) who are not “interested persons” of the Fund as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (“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.

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 shareholders 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;

• 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

B-1

• 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, the Committee may consider nominees recommended by Fund
shareholders. The Committee will consider recommendations for nominees from
shareholders sent to the Secretary of the Fund, c/o The Dreyfus Corporation Legal
Department, 200 Park Avenue, 7th Floor East, New York, New York 10166. 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 shareholders, and such additional information must be provided regarding
the recommended nominee as reasonably requested 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.

Review of Charter and Procedures

The Committee shall review the charter and procedures from time to time, as it
considers appropriate.
