Purpose

Summary of provisions

Section 1. The highway law is amended by adding a new section 344-c to read as follows:

§ 344-c. Portion of the state highway system to be designated as the "Disabled American Veterans Memorial Bridge". The bridge across the Taconic State Parkway on Bryant Pond Road, in the town of Putnam Valley, county of Putnam, shall be designated and known as the "Disabled American Veterans Memorial Bridge."

Section 2. The commissioner of transportation shall provide for the installation and maintenance of adequate signing of the state highway system as designated pursuant to section one of this act. However, to avoid confusion and to limit any possible disruption of commerce, the designation called for pursuant to section one of this act shall be one of ceremonial nature and the official name of such highway shall not be changed as a result of this act.
