A Tale of Two Christopher S. Bond Bridges

2 11 2009

Missouri already has one, a two-lane bridge over the Missouri for Route 19 at Hermann.  It will soon have another, to replace the I-29/35 Paseo in KC, also over the Missouri River.  Someone noted in the KC Star that the one in Hermann has a bike/pedestrian lane, but the one in KC will not.

<sarcasm>That’s because there is a glut of foot and bike commuter traffic between Hermann and McKittrick.  It’s so dense that it makes the 405 in southern California look like an easy drive.</sarcasm>

I’m not impressed with Kit Bond’s ability to get Missouri bridges named after himself.  If he can get a bridge in Massachusetts named for himself, then I’ll bow down.
