This bill designates a specific portion of Interstate 180 in Pennsylvania as the Kenneth C. Larson, Jr., Memorial Highway to honor a distinguished engineer and transportation professional. The bill provides detailed background on Kenneth C. Larson, Jr., highlighting his significant contributions to transportation infrastructure, including his work with the Department of Highways and PennDOT, where he became the youngest district engineer and helped complete major transportation projects like portions of U.S. Route 15 and Interstate 80. The legislation specifically names the highway segment from the Lycoming-Northumberland County line to the interchange with U.S. Route 15 and U.S. Route 220 in Lycoming County after Larson, who was a Bucknell University graduate, Navy Reserve veteran, and later the chief executive of Larson Design Group.
