HCR 12 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Charles “Charlie” Goff Memorial Bridge

HCR 12 is a concurrent resolution requesting the West Virginia Division of Highways rename a specific covered bridge in Wetzel County as the "Charles 'Charlie' Goff Memorial Bridge." The resolution identifies Bridge Number 52-013/00-004.64 (locally known as Hundred Covered Bridge) carrying CR 013 over WV Fork Fish Creek. It honors Charles Goff, a West Virginia native and U.S. Army soldier who served with the 6th Armored Division during WWII, and who died in 2024. The resolution is purely commemorative, with no policy changes or funding mechanisms - only a ceremonial name change for the bridge.
