A
RESOLUTION
Commending
Mr. Harry H. Eason and designating the "Harry H. Eason Bridge"; and for other
purposes.
WHEREAS,
Harry H. Eason was born on August 15, 1915, and he spent his career as a
superintendent for H.G. Smith Construction Company building bridges throughout
south Georgia; and
WHEREAS,
in 1956, he moved his family to Tifton, where his company had been awarded the
contract to construct bridges for Interstate Highway 75 from Tifton to Ashburn,
and Mr. Eason was assigned the task of supervising the construction of those
bridges; and
WHEREAS,
he was known to work as hard as any of his crew in the construction project and
each of the bridges was constructed on time and the work was approved without
correction; and
WHEREAS,
many of the bridges he built were of a complicated design which were even more
difficult to construct in the days before computers; and
WHEREAS,
it is only fitting that a bridge be named for such a renowned bridge builder as
Mr. Harry H. Eason.
NOW,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that the bridge on
Chula Brookfield Road over Interstate Highway 75 in Turner County, Georgia, is
hereby designated as the Harry H. Eason Bridge in honor of this distinguished
Georgian.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Department of Transportation is authorized and
directed to erect and maintain appropriate signs so designating the
bridge.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House is authorized and directed to
transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Harry H. Eason.
