The Clement C. Clay Bridge (Whitesburg Bridge) is a two bridge span over the Tennessee River just south of Huntsville, Alabama. Both bridges are cantilever truss types. The original bridge span was built in 1931, replacing Whites Ferry which crossed the river at nearby Ditto Landing. The second span was constructed in 1965. Upon completion, the newer span carried southbound traffic while the original span carried northbound traffic. The 1931 span was replaced by a reinforced concrete structure, which opened in June 2006. Demolition of the original span began on August 16, 2006. The Clay bridge was named after former Alabama Governor and Senator Clement Comer Clay.
