It’s more official: Jerry Falwell Parkway

It’s official. A stretch of U.S. 460 in Lynchburg will be named the Jerry Falwell Parkway. Gov. Timothy M. Kaine signed legislation this week that was approved by the General Assembly a week ago, designating that the highway from the U.S. 29 intersection to the Monacan Bridge be named for Falwell.

Sponsored by Sen. Steve Newman, R-Lynchburg, and all members of the Lynchburg delegation, the bill naming the parkway was approved on a 40-0 vote in the Senate and 90-3 in the House, where six members abstained from voting.
