The resolution, introduced on February 13, 2025, requests the Division of Highways to officially name bridge number 20A754, known locally as the Cross Lanes Overpass in Kanawha County, as the "U. S. Marine Corps Sergeant Robert Milford Payne Memorial Bridge." This request honors Sgt. Bob Payne, a Marine Corps veteran who served during the Korean War, where he was wounded in action and awarded the Purple Heart, among other honors. He passed away on January 23, 2015, and is buried in Cross Lanes.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of establishing a lasting memorial to recognize Sgt. Payne's contributions to both the state of West Virginia and the nation. It further instructs the Division of Highways to create and install signs that identify the bridge with its new name, ensuring that his legacy is commemorated for future generations. Additionally, the resolution mandates that a copy be sent to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways for implementation.
