S 195 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates overpass of Stelton Road on Interstate Highway Route 287 as "Officer Conklin-Officer Cady Memorial Overpass."

Bill S 195 designates a specific overpass of Stelton Road on Interstate Highway Route 287 in South Plainfield as the "Officer Conklin-Officer Cady Memorial Overpass" to honor two South Plainfield police officers who died in the line of duty (Richard Conklin in 1972 and William Cady in 1975). The bill requires that private funding - not state or public funds - cover the costs of any memorial signs for this designation, with the transportation agency permitted to accept donations from private sources. It was introduced in 2026 but withdrawn after being approved as part of P.L.2025, c.214, meaning the memorial name is already official. This is a ceremonial bill with no policy or funding changes for residents or government operations.
