House Bill No. 401 designates the elevated portion of United States Highway 190 over the Bogue Falaya River in Covington, St. Tammany Parish, as the "Corporal Justin D. McLeese Memorial Bridge." This designation honors Corporal Justin D. McLeese and aims to provide a lasting tribute to his service.
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 limit of $2,250 per sign.
