This also marks the termination of U.S. Route 25. The bridge's main span is 675 feet (206 m). It is a 3-lane bridge; Two lanes are dedicated to travel each way and the middle lane is a reversible lane, meaning the direction of travel of the middle lane changes according to the time of day.The bridge was named after a prominent political reporter for The Kentucky Post, Clay Wade Bailey; it is not a bailey bridge. Also to be known is the fact that Covington Police Officer Mike Partin fell to his death while chasing a suspect in 1998 while in pursuit he jumped the concrete barrier, slipped and fell into the river below.
