Section 1. Mon/Fayette Expressway designations.
(a) Origin of expressway designations.--
(1) Senator J. Barry Stout and the late Representative James J. Manderino aggressively pursued construction of a north-south road artery and its connections in furtherance of the public safety, welfare and economic development in southwestern Pennsylvania. It is a fitting tribute that a portion of this north-south road artery be designated in their honor.
(2) In 1985 the General Assembly passed Senate Bill No.441, which was signed into law as the act of September 30, 1985 (P.L.240, No.61), known as the Turnpike Organization, Extension and Toll Road Conversion Act. That act authorized the Mon/Fayette Expressway.
(3) Senator Stout and the late Representative Manderino served on the Committee of Conference which reached the final agreement on the language for that landmark legislation.
(b) J. Barry Stout Expressway.--The Mon/Fayette Expressway, State Route 43, beginning at the interchange with Interstate 70 in Fallowfield Township, Washington County, and continuing north to the Allegheny County line is designated as the J. Barry Stout Expressway. Appropriate signs shall be posted and maintained by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission.
(c) James J. Manderino Memorial Highway.--The section of State Route 43 beginning at the interchange with Interstate 70 in Fallowfield Township, Washington County, and continuing south until the intersection with United States Route 40 in Centerville and California Boroughs, Washington County, is designated as the James J. Manderino Memorial Highway. Appropriate signs shall be posted and maintained by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission.
