More details about the bike/ped path on the planned Missouri River Bridge at Washington
The bridge is slated to have two 12-foot lanes, two 10-foot shoulders and a 10-foot-wide bike path.
A traffic count shows about 11,000 vehicles cross the span each day. In 20 years, that number is expected to increase to 17,000 vehicles per day. . . .
The committee also discussed pier enhancements, overhead pier enhancements and the possibility of a pocket park to fill the void where the old bridge abutment is now.
The number of overlooks and possible locations also were discussed.
The committee originally had discussed two overlooks, which would be located on the piers on both sides of the main river channel.
There is a possibility for two overlooks, but, because of the placement of the piers, which is where the overlooks would be, one overlook wouldn’t be visible from the riverfront.
The committee will discuss only having one overlook, as well as having two, but with both on piers that are more centered on the river and more visible from the riverfront, which would be more “architecturally appealing.”
