I've searched in vain at the Jeff City trail head for directions to the new pedestrian bridge over the MO river. Just a small (but friendly) dig at the state for building it, but not putting directions to it on their trail head. That's beauracracy!

Seriously, though, has anyone biked from the trail head to the new bridge and what route did you use?

During early October, we rode the KATY from east to west and stayed a night in Jefferson City. We followed the trail that leads from the KATY towards the river. There were arrows painted on the ground as well as a couple of signs along the way that led to the bridge. I remember we rode briefly on a road that went by a baseball practice field. What an awesome structure to accomodate bikes and walkers! Years ago, we had to pay for a taxi shuttle so this bridge was such a treat! (I tend to travel by 6th sense and have found that if you trust your instinct, it serves you well.)

SIgns and arrows on the road are posted everywhere if not just look up and view the bridge and I think you can figure it out.

Get off the trail on the Jeff city trail spur. Ride the spur for awhile and then at 4th St. close to the end of the spur by the campground turn right on 4th st. going west. There are signs as the others have said. Take 4th st. across Cedar City Dr first then across Mokane Rd continuing west. Then theres a sign to turn left on Cottonwood/Walnut St. It turns into Walnut which you stay on awhile and you will see the river and parking lot and the fine square pedestrian bridge over the river. I had to find it to get to a hotel by the capital by bike. But for these directions I found on Google Earth. Happy riding.
