Clay Wade Bailey Bridge, Cantilever bridge in Covington, United States.
The Clay Wade Bailey Bridge extends 3,548 feet across the Ohio River, connecting the cities of Covington, Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio through six traffic lanes.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet initiated construction in the early 1970s, with the bridge opening to vehicle traffic in October 1974 at a cost of $13.5 million.
The bridge name honors Clay Wade Bailey, a Kentucky Post political reporter who made substantial contributions to regional transportation development.
The structure accommodates approximately 12,200 vehicles daily and incorporates three regular lanes plus one reversible lane that changes direction based on traffic patterns.
The bridge design minimizes support structures in the water through its cantilever engineering, which distributes weight across extended horizontal beams.
