Purcell/Lexington Bridge
On July 1, 1968 civic leaders in Purcell and Lexington, led by banker and businessman Sam Ewing, requested the State Highway Commission name the US-77/SH-39 bridge the James C. Nance Bridge, to honor his legislative service, as OK title 69, Chapter 1, Article 16 Section 1612 established the James C. Nance Bridge.
In 1993 the bridge was renamed "James C. Nance Memorial Bridge" in a move sponsored by Sen. Trish Weedn (D-Purcell), a friend of Nance.

Famous quotes containing the word bridge:
“Oh, who will now be able to relate how Pantagruel behaved in face of these three hundred giants! Oh my muse, my Calliope, my Thalie, inspire me now, restore my spirits, because here is the ass’s bridge of logic, here is the pitfall, here is the difficulty of being able to describe the horrible battle undertaken.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
