SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 46
(By Senators Love and White)
Requesting the Division of Highways name the bridge spanning the
Gauley River on Route 39 near Summersville, Nicholas County,
the "Brock's Bridge".
Whereas, The original bridge spanning the Gauley River at
Brock's Ferry was built in 1904 at an approximate cost of $10,000;
and
Whereas, For years this bridge was known by locals as the
Brock's Bridge; and
Whereas, After the Gauley River was dammed and Summersville
Lake was completed in the 1960s, a new bridge was constructed at
Brock's Ferry; and
Whereas, Since the bridge spanning the Gauley River in this
location has been historically known as the "Brock's Bridge", it is
only fitting that the bridge be so formally named; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby requests the Division of Highways
name the bridge spanning the Gauley River on Route 39 near
Summersville, Nicholas County, the "Brock's Bridge"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Division of Highways is hereby
requested to have made and be placed signs identifying the bridge
as the "Brock's Bridge"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the Senate is hereby
directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the Secretary of
the Department of Transportation and the Nicholas County
Commission.
