The pedestrian/bike bridge over the Missouri River at Jefferosn City was dedicated today. Has anyone on the forum used it? I got on the Katy Trail for the first time since November today, but did not get on the bridge. I'm looking forward to using it. I'm so excited that this project is done and people can now safely bike and walk over the Missouri River at Jefferson City.

Went over the bridge this morning, pretty nice! Rode from the Katy Trail over and then back, lots and lots of people walking and a few biking over the bridge, older, younger, parents with small children, groups of people, several joggers and many pictures being taken. It was a "happening" for sure, was glad to see it.

As for riding up the ramps, not a problem, put the bike in a low gear and went on up. Because of the amount of people, and having to go really slow, it was sort of difficult to keep your balance sometimes. Once the "new" wears off and not as many people using it at the same time it will be a much nicer ride. An excellent view of the area. The auto traffic on the bridge is sort of loud, but not a major deal.
