House Bill No. 789, introduced by Representative Zeringue, designates the elevated portion of Louisiana Highway 315, known as the Bayou Dularge Bascule Bridge, as the "Elward T. Brady, Jr. Memorial Bridge." This designation honors Elward T. Brady, Jr. and is intended to be implemented in the city of Houma, Terrebonne Parish.
The bill also mandates that the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) or its contractors are responsible for erecting and maintaining appropriate signage that reflects this new designation. However, this is contingent upon the receipt of local or private funds that cover the actual costs incurred by the DOTD for materials, fabrication, mounting posts, and installation of the signage, with a maximum expenditure of $750 per sign.
