We will be taking Amtrack from Hermamm to Washington and want to ride into St Charles. Can we ride on the bridge? Any suggestions. Thanks

It is not against the law to bike across the bridge, but it is 2-lane with no shoulders and most people wouldn't do it. Many of the people that advise against crossing bridges never ride on the highway andway. I wouldn't have a problem with bikeing it on a week day after morning rush. If you can ride 15-20 MPH, you can get across in 2 min. The speed limit is 45 is think.
