Machens trail extension

I'm not sure I understand why the state extended the trail to Machens but didn't follow the original rail right of way. There's a mile-long stretch that's currently under water. It will be under water every time the MO River is high. What's the point of building a trail that will be flooded every year? Was there a property owner blocking the original right of way?

My understanding is the original route in that location was washed out in the flood of 1993.

So is the trail from St. Charles to Machens currently accessible? I'm hoping to cover this part of the trail next weekend. Is it only accessible in dry weather? Help!
