An Act designating a certain bridge in the city of Fall River as the Ronald Costa Bridge.

 

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to designate forthwith a certain bridge in the city of Fall River, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
 

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
 

Bridge number F-02-052(3XF) on Herman street, spanning state Route 79 in the city of Fall River shall be designated and known as the Ronald Costa Bridge, in honor of Ronald Costa, and in recognition of his service to his community through his 38 years as a dedicated employee of the city of Fall River where he was appreciated by many of his colleagues, family and friends and served with an unblemished record of service as Commissioner of the Department of Public Works among his lifetime of service to his community.The Massachusetts Department of Transportation shall erect and maintain a suitable marker on the bridge bearing the designation in compliance with the standards of the department.
