CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - The North Carolina Department of Transportation announced it will officially name the W.T. Harris Bridge in northeast Charlotte after a fallen Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officer.
This is the bridge that runs over Interstate 85.
It will be named after Mia Goodwin, who was killed in December 2021 just days after returning from maternity leave.

The NCDOT will enact the naming of the bridge on June 6.
