Clement C. Clay Bridge, Cantilever bridge in Huntsville, United States.
The Clement C. Clay Bridge extends 2,047 feet across the Tennessee River with a main span measuring 360 feet and features a metal Warren through truss design.
Opening in 1931, this infrastructure replaced Whites Ferry at Ditto Landing, later receiving a second span in 1965 to accommodate increasing traffic flow across the Tennessee River.
The bridge bears the name of Clement Comer Clay, who served as both governor and senator of Alabama during the state's formative political period.
Located at coordinates 34.576 latitude and -86.567 longitude, the bridge carries US-231 and State Route 53, connecting the metropolitan areas of Huntsville and Decatur.
The structure incorporates bolted connections throughout its design, displaying both v-lacing and lattice patterns that demonstrate engineering techniques of the mid-twentieth century.
