Just rode the bridge across into Jeff City, and for anyone who has ridden in a city before, the bridge is not too scary. We did it with our kids in trailers and it was OK. We used lights, including white strobe headlights for safety. Just make sure not to stop if you get a flat tire! We got a flat in one trailer wheel and forged on to get to a safe place before stopping.

The State of Missouri has begun the work on a new bicycle bridge that will be UNDER the highway bridge across the Missouri River in Jefferson City. It will somehow hang suspended from the eastern bridge and then will spiral down to hook into a city trail leading into town. No more dodging cars etc to enter our capital city.

According to MO Bike Fed the contract for this project was awarded yesterday 4-20-10.
From MODOT's website it looks like the "attachment" is along the side of the east bridge and not underneath the highway bridge.....the artists drawings at the Tour of MO a few years ago showed the bike/pedestrian lane on the east side of the bridge also. The lane is to have a couple of pullouts for stopping/viewing, etc.
