HCR 87 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Clark Brothers Memorial Bridge

HCR 87 is a procedural resolution requesting the West Virginia Division of Highways rename Dutchman Bridge (Bridge Number 43-021/00-000.06) in Ritchie County to the "Clark Brothers Memorial Bridge." It honors eight Clark brothers who served in the U.S. military (five in the Army, three in the Navy) during World War II and other conflicts, citing their service and personal history. The resolution does not create new policy or affect any group; it only asks for a name change on an existing bridge and signage. This is a commemorative measure with no substantive legislative impact.
