The resolution, introduced on February 13, 2025, requests the Division of Highways to officially name Bridge Number 41-077/00-043.59, located on I-77 over Cabell Road in Raleigh County, as the "U.S. Navy SC1 Curtis Hatcher Memorial Bridge." This naming honors Curtis Hatcher, a West Virginia native born on August 8, 1926, who served in the United States Navy during World War II, achieving the rank of Seaman 1st Class before being honorably discharged in 1946. Hatcher lived a peaceful life after his service until his passing on November 1, 2013.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of remembering Curtis Hatcher's contributions and sacrifices. It further instructs the Division of Highways to create and install signs that identify the bridge with its new name and mandates that a copy of the resolution be sent to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways for implementation.
