I see it has been awhile since last asked - any updates to the bridge that would allow a safe ride across?

What?

I don't know of any unsafe bridges on the KATY. The longest is across the Missouri, but it seems safe to me. There are some shorter wooden ones that are noisey to ride on, but they also seem safe for bicycles.

Well my entry into the "guess what bridge I'm talking about" is the Washington MO bridge and no there has been no update.

Congrats Gary - your are the winner! My apologies to all - I was asking about the bridge over the Missouri into Washington. Most of the advice I've seen says not to try to ride it.

Even though I have done it, and ONLY by riding two abreast, and traffic behind just has to wait, sorry, and in fact have done it twice and really had no problems--despite all this it is NOT a safe ride and I couldn't really recommend it. The new bridge (2017-18) will have a bike lane but until then it's a no man's land.
