State lawmakers have renamed a bridge on Interstate 75 that spans State Route 2/U.S. Highway 64 in Ooltewah in honor of late state Rep. Mike Carter, the Chattanoogan reports. The renaming was included in the Transportation Omnibus Bill, which Gov. Bill Lee signed off on earlier this month. The bridge will now be known as the “State Representative Mike Carter Memorial Bridge.” Bill sponsor Rep. Dan Howell, R-Cleveland, said Carter “was a dedicated, highly respected public servant, attorney, judge and state representative for House District 29.” He added that the late representative “did a lot for Tennessee and left his imprint on this body.”
