HR1525: HR1525 Teddy Ray Webb Memorial Bridge; Crisp County; dedicate

Last action March 6, 2026 · House Second Readers

A Georgia House resolution would name the bridge on State Route 7 over Cedar Creek in Crisp County the Teddy Ray Webb Memorial Bridge, honoring his 50-year career in bridge construction.

In plain language

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors Teddy Ray Webb, who was born in Hartwell, Georgia in 1956 and spent 50 years working in bridge construction across the state, training many other workers along the way. He also volunteered on community projects such as renovating ball fields and a high school press box and weight room. The resolution designates the bridge on State Route 7 over Cedar Creek in Crisp County as the Teddy Ray Webb Memorial Bridge. It directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to put up and maintain signs marking the dedication, and it directs the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to Webb's family and to the Department of Transportation.

What the bill does

  • Officially dedicates the bridge on State Route 7 over Cedar Creek in Crisp County as the Teddy Ray Webb Memorial Bridge.
  • Directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the bridge's new name.
  • Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to send copies of the resolution to Webb's family and to the Department of Transportation.

Who it affects

This primarily affects the Georgia Department of Transportation, which must install and maintain the memorial signage, and the family of Teddy Ray Webb. Drivers on State Route 7 in Crisp County will see the renamed bridge.

Why it matters

The practical effect is limited to signage and public recognition: the Department of Transportation must post new signs on a specific bridge, and Webb's family receives formal documentation of the honor. It does not change traffic rules, funding, or infrastructure.
