Congress finds the following: Navy vessels must have access to Naval Weapons Station, Yorktown, Virginia, in order to load munitions for war time needs. To access the Station, vessels must pass the George P. Coleman Bridge on the York River, which swings open to allow passage. Many Federal employees at the Station and at other critical military installations in the Tidewater region of Virginia live on the north side of the York River and commute to work using the Bridge. The assured operation of the George P.
Coleman Memorial Bridge is therefore critical to the operation of Naval Weapons Station, Yorktown and national security generally. The Commander of the United States Transportation Command shall conduct a study of the feasibility and desirability of including the George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge on the York River, Virginia, and United States Route 17 in the Strategic Highway Network. Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Commander shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report on the results of the study conducted under paragraph (1).
