(By Delegate Argento)
Requesting the Division of Highways to name the bridge spanning the
Gauley River on Route 39 near Summersville, Nicholas County,
the "Brock's Bridge."
Whereas, The bridge over the Gauley River at Brock's Ferry was
first built in 1904 at a cost of approximately $10,000; and

Brock's Bridge; and
Whereas, After the Gauley River was dammed and Summersville
Lake was completed in the 1960's, a new bridge was constructed at
Brock's Ferry; and

location has been historically known as the "Brock's Ferry Bridge,"
it is only fitting that the bridge be formally so named; therefore,
be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby requests the Division of Highways
to 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 erect appropriate signage at the entryway of each end
