HR 1129 authorizes a connector road in St., Louis City and County, MO and sets some provisions for operating and maintaining the road.

The authorization affects arterial road 1151 that is deed-restricted property… “approximately 0.4 acres and 540 lineal feet designated as a FEMA route”. The road was established as the “Lemay Connector Road for Long-Term Recovery, Recreational Enhancements, & Community & Economic Development.” (June 1, 2006)
