The resolution, introduced on February 14, 2025, requests the Division of Highways to officially name a bridge in Kanawha County, known as FIELDS CREEK BR NO. 4.44, the "Charlie Lee Jordan Memorial Bridge." This bridge carries CR 77/01 over FIELDS CREEK in the community of Winifrede, where Charlie Lee Jordan was born and spent his life. The resolution highlights Jordan's significant contributions to the community, including his long career as a coal miner and his role as a family man, raising five children with his wife Ethel Perdue.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of honoring Charlie Lee Jordan's legacy by naming the bridge after him, as he was a lifelong resident of West Virginia and a dedicated member of his community. It also requests that signs be made to identify the bridge with its new name and directs the Clerk of the Senate to forward a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways.
