This bill designates the overpass of Stelton Road at milepost 5.88 on Interstate Highway Route 287, both northbound and southbound, as the Officer Conklin-Officer Cady Memorial Overpass. This designation honors the memory of Richard H. Conklin and William J. Cady, two South Plainfield police officers who tragically lost their lives in the line of duty three years apart while serving their community. The bill highlights their service as military veterans and police officers, recognizing their dedication and the respect they earned from their peers and the citizens they served.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that state or public funds shall not be used for the production, purchase, or erection of signs bearing this designation. Instead, the Commissioner of Transportation is authorized to accept gifts, grants, or other financial assistance from private sources to cover the associated costs. This ensures that the memorial signs can be funded through private contributions, aligning with the Department of Transportation's policies on road designations.
