The resolution, introduced on February 14, 2025, requests the Division of Highways to officially name bridge number 45-012/00-001.21, known locally as Bradshaw Creek Bridge in Summers County, as the "U. S. Army Airforce Staff Sergeant Jimmie M. Hutchison Memorial Bridge." This naming honors Staff Sergeant Hutchison, a local hero born in Ronceverte in 1916, who served in the U.S. Army Airforce during World War II and played a significant role in the D-Day invasion. After his military service, he had a distinguished career with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and was actively involved in his community, including leadership roles in his church and local school advocacy.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of commemorating Hutchison's contributions to both the state and the country, as well as his dedication to his community and family. It calls for the installation of signs to identify the bridge by its new name and directs the Clerk of the House to forward a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways.
