The resolution, introduced on March 7, 2025, calls for the Division of Highways to prioritize the completion of the I-73 Highway, also known as the King Coal Highway, across several southern West Virginia counties, including Wayne, Mingo, McDowell, Mercer, and Wyoming. It emphasizes the importance of efficient transportation for economic development in these coalfield regions and highlights the challenges posed by recent catastrophic flooding, which has made travel difficult and complicated emergency response efforts.

The resolution urges the State of West Virginia to allocate necessary funding and support to expedite the highway's completion, recognizing its potential to improve access for both citizens and emergency workers during normal and critical situations. Additionally, it mandates that a certified copy of the resolution be sent to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways to ensure that the request is formally acknowledged and acted upon.
