AI Summary

  • Legislation proposing to give a distinctive name to a bridge or highway portion by statute requires supporting resolutions from the governing legislative body of each county, township, or municipal corporation where the bridge is located or the highway extends.

  • The Director of Transportation is not required to implement any legislation naming a state bridge or highway portion unless it is supported by resolutions from all affected local governments.

  • The Department of Transportation may erect markers for newly named bridges or highways only if it receives contributions from private sources to cover all manufacturing, erection, and maintenance costs.

  • County, township, and municipal corporations that support a named bridge or highway by resolution may erect markers at their own expense within their jurisdiction, subject to applicable laws and highway signing directives.
