This bill designates a bridge, identified as Bridge Key 12334, which carries State Route 2012 over McElhattan Creek in Wayne Township, Clinton County, as the Master Sergeant Robert F. Johnson Memorial Bridge. The legislation outlines the significant contributions and achievements of Master Sergeant Johnson, a veteran of the United States Air Force who served from 1947 to 1969. His notable accomplishments include participating in the Berlin Airlift, conducting over 350 parachute jumps, and supporting NASA's Mercury and Gemini spaceflight programs. Johnson was recognized for his service with various awards and was actively involved in his community until his passing in February 2022.
The bill mandates that the Department of Transportation erect and maintain appropriate signs to display the bridge's new name to traffic in both directions. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
