Appropriates unexpended funds from "New Jersey Bridge Rehabilitation and Improvement and Railroad Right-of-way Preservation Bond Act of 1989."
This bill redirects leftover funds from New Jersey's 1989 Bridge Rehabilitation Bond Act to the Department of Transportation for immediate bridge repairs. It specifically allocates unspent money for emergency repairs on bridges carrying state highways (Section 1) and county/municipal roads (Section 2), with funds for local roads redistributing to counties after two years if unspent. The bill does not create new funding but realigns existing resources to address urgent bridge maintenance needs across the state.
