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, making this memorial a fitting tribute to his service and contributions to the state and country.

The resolution further instructs the Division of Highways to create and install signs that identify the bridge with its new name. Additionally, it directs the Clerk of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways to ensure proper implementation of this memorial designation.
