This bill designates a bridge, identified as Bridge Key 53749, which carries Pennsylvania Route 234 over the Conewago Creek in Franklin Township, Adams County, as the "Firefighter Adam E. Cole Memorial Bridge." The legislation highlights the life and contributions of Adam E. Cole, who was born on May 25, 1983, and tragically passed away on October 4, 2007, while responding to a fire call. Mr. Cole was a dedicated volunteer firefighter, a certified emergency medical technician, and an active member of his community, recognized for his achievements in the Future Farmers of America and his involvement in various local organizations.
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.
