AI Summary
This bill designates the Fort Duquesne Bridge in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as the Franco Harris Bridge in honor of the legendary Pittsburgh Steelers football player. The bill includes an extensive 37-point biographical section highlighting Harris's remarkable sports career, including his famous "Immaculate Reception" play, his NFL achievements (such as being Rookie of the Year, rushing for over 12,000 yards, and being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame), and his extensive community service work. The bill requires the Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs displaying the new bridge name, and it will take effect 60 days after passage. The designation not only recognizes Harris's athletic accomplishments but also his contributions to various charitable causes, including work with March of Dimes, Special Olympics, and urban community organizations, as well as his support for veterans and educational initiatives.
