The resolution requests the Division of Highways to officially name bridge number 30-010/01-000.02, known locally as Wharncliffe Box Beam, as the "U.S. Army CPL Lavern 'Mousey' Testerman Memorial Bridge." This naming honors CPL Lavern Testerman, a veteran who served in the U.S. Army during World War II, where he displayed remarkable bravery and received numerous accolades, including the Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts for his service in the Philippines. Testerman, who was born in 1918 and passed away in 1994, spent much of his life in Wharncliffe, West Virginia, and worked in the coal industry after the war.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of establishing a lasting memorial to recognize Testerman's contributions to both the state and the country. It also includes provisions for the Division of Highways to create and install signs that identify the bridge with its new name. A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways to facilitate this request.
