S 4313 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates overpass of Stelton Road on Interstate Highway Route 287 as "Officer Conklin-Officer Cady Memorial Overpass."

This bill designates the overpass of Stelton Road on Interstate Highway Route 287 in South Plainfield as the "Officer Conklin-Officer Cady Memorial Overpass" to honor two South Plainfield police officers who died in the line of duty - Richard Conklin in 1972 and William Cady in 1975 - while serving near this location. The bill requires the Commissioner of Transportation to officially name the structure and erect signs bearing this designation. Crucially, it specifies that public funds cannot cover the costs of the signs; instead, the Department of Transportation may accept private funding from non-governmental organizations for producing, installing, and maintaining the signage. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
