This bill honors Army Specialist Benjamin G. Moore, who lost his life while serving in Afghanistan on January 12, 2011, by designating the bridge over Crosswicks Creek on Interstate Highway Route 295 North as the "Benjamin Moore and the 693rd Sapper Company Memorial Highway." The bill outlines the responsibilities of the Commissioner of Transportation to erect appropriate signage for this designation and specifies that state or public funds will not be used for the production, purchase, or erection of these signs.
Instead, the Commissioner is authorized to accept gifts, grants, or other financial assistance from private sources to cover the associated costs. The bill emphasizes that no work will commence, nor funding accepted, until an agreement is established with a responsible party to manage the financial aspects of the signage. The act is set to take effect immediately upon approval.
