## Summary

**This bill would co-designate Arlington Memorial Bridge as the United States‑Mexican War Memorial** to establish a national commemorative focus on the 1846–1848 U.S.–Mexican War while allowing only limited interpretive enhancements and no changes to the bridge’s transportation role or official name. - Visitors: Adds interpretive signage, plaques, and landscaping near the bridge to explain the war and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and permits ceremonies and public observances. - National Park Service and Secretary of the Interior: Would administer the co-designation and must follow the National Historic Preservation Act and the National Environmental Policy Act when placing enhancements. - Bridge operations and jurisdictions: Keeps the bridge’s official name, its transportation and safety functions, and existing operation, maintenance, and repair responsibilities unchanged. - Funding and donors: Bars Federal funds for the commemorative elements, allows the Secretary to accept non‑Federal funds and in‑kind donations, and directs any excess money to a separate National Park Foundation account.
