The bill amends Chapter 22-7.4 of the General Laws, which pertains to the Permanent Joint Committee on Naming All New Buildings, Bridges, Edifices, and Other State Constructions. It introduces a new section, 22-7.4-160, which designates bridge number 44000000000007010, located in Providence, Rhode Island, where U.S. Route 44 (Smith Street) crosses over both northbound and southbound lanes of Interstate 95, roughly a tenth of a mile south of the junction with Route 146, as the George Nee Bridge.
The bill further stipulates that signs indicating the new name of the bridge shall be provided through private funds, with the design and placement of these signs requiring approval from the Department of Transportation. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
