The resolution, introduced on February 14, 2025, requests the Division of Highways to officially name bridge number 55-956/00-000.01, known locally as the Flatrock Street Bridge in Wyoming County, as the "U.S. Army Sergeant Dennis Charles Hurley Memorial Bridge." This naming honors Sergeant Hurley, a distinguished veteran of the 82nd Airborne Division who served two tours in Vietnam and later contributed to his community as an electrician and active member of various veteran organizations. He passed away on August 3, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of service and dedication.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of establishing a lasting memorial to commemorate Sergeant Hurley's contributions to both the state and the country. It calls for the Division of Highways to create and install signs identifying the bridge with its new name and directs the Clerk of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways.
