N.Y. —
On June 27, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., New York State police will hold a dedication ceremony at the Shroon Lake Pavilion, designating the overpass on Charley Hill Road over Interstate 87 in the town of Shroon as the "Trooper Lawrence P. Gleason Memorial Bridge.

The bridge will now officially be named the "Trooper Lawrence P. Gleason Memorial Bridge."

NYS Law makers, thank you for acknowledging the professionalism, dedication and ultimate sacrifice of Trooper Lawrence P. Gleason as he will always be remembered.
