Description
Article reviews the political struggle over the fate of the Katy Bridge at Boonville. The bridge for the MKT (Missouri-Kansas-Texas) railroad was built in 1932 and at the time was the largest lift-span bridge in the United States. It was also "a second incarnation of a bridge that was constructed in 1874." The Katy Trail takes a detour at Boonville to bypass the rail bridge. Union Pacific, owners of the bridge, plan to recycle bridge materials for use in a different location, saying this could save them close to eight million dollars. Save the Katy Bridge Coalition is working hard to raise funds to refurbish it for pedestrian and bicycle use on the Katy Trail.
