The bridge into Hermann

I rode the Katy end-to-end in 2004 & vividly remember the horror of the bridge over the river going into Hermann. I'm still bridge-phobic and willbe riding again next year with a group. For planning purposes (so I can get a shuttle) is that bridge still standing? I had heard it was scheduled to be replaced. Thanks you to all the helpful people on this board who make it work so well!

The new bridge has a separated lane, and is wide enough to ride on the bridge itself (I did in September as the bike/pedestrian lane was blocked).

I fondly remember the old Hermann bridge. Though not for biking of course. The new bridge has a protected bike lane and 10-ft shoulders if the bike lane is blocked.

We say "new" bridge. It actually opened in 2007!

No worries at all to cross into Hermann now.

Thanks for the replies. Rejoicing! But will probably still shuttle.

Fantastic video! Wow--that bridge sure has changed. Thank you so much. That's the kind of bridge I can actually get over. You're a trail angel.

Almost all the bridges over the Missouri River near the Katy Trail have been rebuilt or modified for safe bicycle and pedestrian traffic. St. Charles (the 370 bridge and Page bridge), Chesterfield, Hermann, Jefferson City, and Boonville all have bike safe bridges over the Missouri River

The Route 47 bridge to Washington, Missouri is a work in progress. Last I heard it's schedule to open this December.
