We have a group of about 35 riders that plan to travel Clinton to St. Charles the second week of June (the week before the DNR ride). We have been riding the Katy end-to-end for about 20 years, so we're rather experienced.
We know the bridge at Salt Creek is out and will very likely not be open before our trip. We have ridden the Hwy 40 detour before and will use that again.
The bridge at Bigelow Creek is out according to the DNR website. Is there any hope for it being open again by June? If I recall correctly, that stretch of Hwy 94 is rather hilly and twisty. Is my memory correct? Is there a better detour?
There's mention on the web of a bridge near Herman being out, but the exact location is not mentioned. Is the bridge still out? Is it east or west of Herman?
Are there any other outages that are not "walkable" that I haven't mentioned?
Thx.
