The C&O (1929) and Clay Wade Bailey Bridges stand immediately next to one another (pictured above), and share two piers in the middle of the river. Today's Clay Wade Bailey Bridge opened in 1974 along the alignment of the original C&O Bridge (1889), and still uses one of its original main span piers. It has a 675ft. main span identical to the adjacent "new" C&O. The previously shared 1889/1929 southern pier was reused and the 2nd C&O's northern pier was extended west, creating a 1929/1974 shared pier. The old C&O's northern main span pier was dismantled, allowing a clear 675ft. navigation channel beneath. As determined by the re-use of the 1889/29 pier, the deck was wide enough for three but not four lanes, resulting in a center variable-direction lane. The bridge was named after Clay Wade Bailey, a prominant Kentucky newspaper reporter.
