The resolution, introduced on March 5, 2025, requests the Division of Highways to officially name bridge number 11660, known locally as the Rock Creek bridge in Boone County, as the "U.S. Army SPC Johnny Long Memorial Bridge." This tribute honors Johnny Long, a native of Boone County who had a significant impact on his community through his work as a skilled carpenter in bridge construction and his dedication to the United Steel Workers Union. Long also served with distinction in the Vietnam War, where he earned numerous accolades for his bravery, including the U.S. Army Air Medal and the Bronze Star.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of establishing a lasting memorial to commemorate Johnny Long's contributions to both the state and the country. It calls for the installation of signs to identify the bridge by its new name and directs the Clerk of the Senate to forward the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways for implementation. This initiative reflects a deep respect for Long's legacy and his connection to the area where he was born and worked.
