I'm worried about crossing the bridge over the river. Is there a bike lane, and if so is it on both sides of the bridge?

Not to worry! The bike lane on the Boonville bridge is on one side, separated from automobile traffic by concrete barriers and a tall fence like rail on the other side, to make a lane that is probably 8ft. wide. It's a great view of the river.

The only Katy Trail related bridge that should cause worry and should not be attempted on a bike is in Washington. Yes, it's been done. But no, it's not advisable to ride this one.

The bridges in Boonville, Jefferson City, and Hermann are all similar with very adequate bike lanes and great river views.

As noted by the others...NOTHING to worry about. I do recommend that people be cautious as they exit the bridge at Boonville on the north side. There is a sharp hairpin left turn that sometimes has sand. But in terms of traffic - NO WORRIES whatsoever!

But, get ready to use your low gear. The Boonville bridge is probaly the steepest part of the entire Katy trail.
