SCR 3 West Virginia Senate · 2025 Regular Session

US Army Warrant Officer Joseph Rose III Memorial Bridge

This concurrent resolution (SCR 3) requests that West Virginia's Division of Highways rename two bridge segments on Interstate 79 over Brown's Creek in Harrison County as the "U.S. Army Warrant Officer Joseph Rose III Memorial Bridge." It specifically directs the agency to install signage identifying the bridge with this name. The resolution is ceremonial, honoring Warrant Officer Joseph Rose III's military service, capture as a POW in Vietnam, and post-war life in West Virginia. It does not create new laws or policies, only modifies a bridge's official designation.
