The resolution, introduced on February 14, 2025, requests the Division of Highways to name bridge number 10-077/00-062.66, known locally as Skitter Creek Bridge in Fayette County, as the "U. S. Army Major Jerome Lee Workman Memorial Bridge."

The resolution highlights his educational background, military achievements, and post-war career, emphasizing his impact on both the state of West Virginia and the nation.
In addition to naming the bridge, the resolution calls for the installation of signs to identify it as the memorial bridge in honor of Major Workman. It also directs the Clerk of the Senate to forward a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways, ensuring that the recognition of Major Workman's legacy is formally documented and honored.
