Section 1. Now therefore be it enacted by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That Sections 126A, 126H, Sub-section (a) of 126-1
and Section 126P of Article 89B of the Annotated Code of Maryland

and re-enacted, with amendments, to read as follows:

126A. (Northeastern Expressway). The State Roads Commis-
sion is hereby authorized and empowered to construct, maintain,
repair and operate a toll express highway, to be known as the
"Northeastern Expressway", from a point [on] at or within the
city limits of the city of Baltimore northeasterly between U. S.
Routes No. 40 and 1 to a point at or near the boundary line between
[the] this State and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including
a connection to a point at or near the boundary line between [the]
this State and the State of Delaware, and to issue revenue bonds of
the State, payable solely from revenues, to pay the cost of the North-
eastern Expressway; and the Northeastern Expressway may include
as an integral part thereof a new bridge across the Susquehanna
River at a location to be selected by the Commission after a study of
the most feasible and advantageous route to be traversed or said
Expressway may be constructed so as to utilize the presently existing
Susquehanna Toll Bridge and its approaches on the Pulaski highway
until such time as the traffic load justifies the construction of a new
bridge across the Susquehanna River. In the event the Commission
exercises the power herein granted to build a new bridge across the
Susquehanna River, then said Commission is authorized to issue
additional bonds or certificates of indebtedness secured by toll
revenue from the Northeastern Expressway and/or the new Susque-
hanna River bridge. [The Commission is further expressly author-
ized to enter into whatever supplemental agreement may be neces-
sary to meet the covenants in its trust agreement with the Fidelity-
Baltimore National Bank & Trust Company, dated October 1, 1954,
in order to make effective the provisions of this subtitle.] The Com-
mission may and is hereby expressly authorized to deposit all of the
tolls and revenues from such new bridge as may be constructed
across the Susquehanna River under the provisions of this subtitle
with Fidelity-Baltimore National Bank & Trust Company (herein-
after called the "Trustee"), Trustee under the Trust Agreement
(hereinafter called the "Trust Agreement" ), dated as of October 1,
1954, between the Commission and the Trustee, such tolls and
revenues, when so deposited, to be placed by the Trustee in the
Revenue Fund created pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Agree-
ment, to be collected, held and disbursed by the Trustee in the same
manner and in all respects as a part of said Revenue Fund for the
maintenance^ and operation of the toll revenue projects described and
referred to in the Trust Agreement, for the creation of reserves and
for the payment of principal and interest and premium, if any, on
the State of Maryland Bridge and Tunnel Revenue Bonds (herein-
after called the "Bonds"), issued pursuant to the Trust Agreement,
in the same manner as if said tolls and revenues from such new
