West Virginia native Bill Withers has been honored with a road named in his honor. “Bill Withers Memorial Road” is the new name for Slab Fork Road from the Lester Highway to the Coalfields Expressway in Raleigh County. Withers died at the age of 81 in 2020. The Division of Highways installed a sign last week renaming the road after the move was passed by the West Virginia Legislature last month.
