H 3727 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act naming “The Bill Russell and Bob Cousy Highway”

This bill designates a specific segment of the Massachusetts Turnpike (between Boston and Worcester) as "The Bill Russell and Bob Cousy Highway." It directly affects the highway signage and official naming of that corridor. The key provision requires the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to install appropriate signs marking the new name. This is a purely commemorative measure honoring the basketball legends Bill Russell and Bob Cousy, with no other policy changes or impacts on laws or regulations.
