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

In light of these issues, the resolution urges the State of West Virginia to allocate necessary funding and support to expedite the highway's completion. It aims to enhance transportation efficiency for residents and emergency workers, ensuring better access during both normal and critical situations. The resolution concludes by directing the Clerk of the House to send a certified copy to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways.
