Missouri High Priority Bike/Ped/ADA Projects

Bike/ped facilities on Washington Missouri River Bridge, MO 47 (06STL0004)

Status: Planning/scoping

City: Washington - Dutzow.    Route: MO 47    Location: Over new/proposed Washington bridge

Type:

Description:
This project proposes constructing bicycle/pedestrian facilities on the Hwy 47 bridge near Washington when the bridge is rebuilt.

Importance:
The City of Washington has invested heavily in bike/ped facilities, including a riverfront trail. The Tour of Missouri has focused attention on the scenic Missouri Wine Road as a biking destination. A connection from Washington to the Katy would allow the 14,000 residents of Washington direct biking access to the Katy Trail, as well as drawing Katy visitors over to historic Washington. In this 20th anniversary year for the Katy, and with the Missouri River bridge at Washington atop the states list of needed major projects, this would be the perfect opportunity for a statewide showcase project at this location. Hwy 47 is THE TOP priority for the regional planning commission due to its regional significance and capacity/safety issues. Again, adding a bike lane to needed roadway upgrades is a perfect opportunity. This will allow the connection from the Katy Trail to Washington. This is on the Great Rivers Route national bicycle Route (Adventure Cycling).

Obstacles:
Include bicycle/pedestrian accommodations has already identified as a priority in the planning process for the bridge.
