S.B. No. 1689 proposes to designate a portion of Loop 1604 in Bexar County as the "Lieutenant Colonel Albert E. Smart Jr. Memorial Bridge." The bill amends the Transportation Code by adding Section 225.243, which specifies that the structure on Loop 1604 that crosses over Military Drive West will bear this designation. This designation is intended to be in addition to any other existing designations for the bridge.

Furthermore, the bill mandates the Texas Department of Transportation to design and construct markers that indicate the bridge's new designation and to erect a marker at each end of the bridge. The provisions of this Act are set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and it is noted that the 89th Legislature intends for any provisions added by this Act to be renumbered to avoid duplication.
