I may have missed this discussion somewhere in the comments, so please be kind when replying-What is the highway like going from the trail over to Jefferson City? on the map it looks like a multilane bridge. Safety? Thank you

We rode it last fall. If memory serves it's 2-3 miles from the Katy to downtown Jefferson City. The trail spur to JC is just off the parking lot/rest area for JC on the Katy trail. Follow the signs..they'll take you into town via a few jogs in the route. There is a ridable ramp up to the bridge that takes you over the river into town. There is a traffic-isolated bike/pedestrian walkway along the east side of the bridge. Easy to get into and out of town. There's an excellent pizza and Greek salad place across the street from the capital building. We ordered a large and ate half. The other half was lunch the next day..great lunch along the river..

If you zoom in on google earth or online maps you will see a square structure on the east side of the bridge. That is a bike/pedestrian ramp that takes you up to a separate bike/pedestrian bridge that will take you to the other side. Look to the west side of the bridge there is a pathway from the parking lot that connects to the bridge ramp. You can see the route from the North Jefferson trail head that will take you to the bike/pedestrian ramp.
