Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the allowable dimensions and weights of vehicles traveling on highways and bridges

AI Summary

This bill amends the New York vehicle and traffic law to remove weight and height restrictions for vehicles traveling a specific 1.7-mile route from the Ogdensburg Prescott International Bridge. The route proceeds south from the bridge to New York state route 37, then southwest along route 37, continuing northwest along Ford Street Extension/Ford Street, ultimately ending at the Port of Ogdensburg. By adding a new paragraph to section 385 of the vehicle and traffic law, the bill allows larger or heavier vehicles to use this route that were previously prohibited, potentially facilitating easier transportation and commerce between the international bridge and the port. The legislation would take effect immediately upon passage, providing immediate relief to transportation restrictions in this specific corridor.
