 5 thirty-one, crossing over route two hundred fifty-nine, also known as
 6 South Union Street, in the town of Ogden, county of Monroe, shall be
 7 dedicated to Civil War Veteran John B. Nichols.

 9 lation and maintenance of adequate signing of the state highway system

 13 disruption of commerce, the dedication called for pursuant to section

 15 of such bridge shall not be changed as a result of this act.
 16 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
