Senate Bill No. 103, introduced by Senator Womack and Representative Riser, designates a portion of United States Highway 425 in Wisner, Louisiana, as "Gladys Edwards Highway." The designated section runs from the northern city limit to the southern city limit within the city of Wisner, Franklin Parish. The bill outlines the responsibilities of the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) regarding the erection and maintenance of signage for this designation.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that the DOTD will only proceed with the installation of the signs if local or private funds are provided to cover the actual costs of materials, fabrication, mounting posts, and installation, with a maximum expenditure of $750 per sign. This legislation is set to take effect on August 1, 2026.
