HCR 68 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Jim Marcum and Airiel Wallace Memorial Bridge

HCR 68 is a concurrent resolution requesting the West Virginia Division of Highways rename Breeden Bridge (Bridge Number 30-003/05-016.21) in Mingo County as the "Jim Marcum and Airiel Shai Wallace Memorial Bridge." It asks the highway agency to install signs identifying the bridge with this new name, honoring Jim Marcum (a longtime Mingo County community figure and landowner who died in 2018) and his granddaughter Airiel Wallace (an artist and community member who died in 2021). This is a purely ceremonial request with no funding, policy changes, or direct impact on laws or regulations. The resolution passed the House on March 24, 2025, and was referred to the Senate Transportation Committee.
