Antepast Bridge

Clay County's tallest swinging bridge, with a steep ramp up to the deck and a dramatic view of the Red Bird River.

About this bridge

The most dramatic of the restored bridges — Antepast crosses the Red Bird River and is the tallest swinging bridge in the county. The ramp up to the deck is steep, and the views down to the water are spectacular. Park at Antepast Church (the bridge sits at the back of the parking lot). Note that KY 66 makes a sharp right turn after the .8 mile mark — don't miss it.
