STATEMENT
This bill supplements the FY 2020 appropriations act by appropriating $2,000,000 for the Department of Transportation to fund an overpass project on Route 539, which bisects Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Ocean County. The construction of this overpass would allow large convoys of military vehicles to cross beneath the highway from the Fort Dix and McGuire sections of the joint base to the Lakehurst side without having to use both Route 70 and 539.
