HCR 71 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Leonard N. Miller Memorial Bridge

HCR 71 is a concurrent resolution requesting the West Virginia Division of Highways name a specific bridge in Roane County the "U.S. Army Technician Fifth Grade Leonard N. Miller Memorial Bridge." It directly affects bridge number 44-010/00-001.09 (locally known as MT Olive Bridge), which carries Reedyville Road over Left Fork Reedy Creek. The resolution cites Leonard N. Miller's military service in World War II (including his 11th Airborne Division service and awards) and post-war life in West Virginia as the reason for the memorial. The request asks the Division of Highways to install signage identifying the bridge with this new name.
