The Boonville Katy RR Bridge

The Boonville Katy RR Bridge once rehabilitated will be the “Crown Jewel” of the Katy Trail and will provide cyclists and pedestrians with a unique Missouri River crossing experience. The Lift Span Bridge will remain operational, with daily opportunities to view the raising and lowering, as well as available for private events rental throughout the year. A renovated Bridge will improve the tourism economy for Boonville but also raise the visibility of the Katy Trail and Missouri State Parks.

The Katy Bridge Coalition is a registered non-profit initially created in 2005. From 2005 to 2012, the primary purpose of the organization was to advocate for the restoration and rehabilitation of the Katy Bridge and to keep the Bridge in Boonville. Since the ownership transfer, the Coalition is now focused on raising funds to rehabilitate the Bridge and ultimately to operate and maintain a rehabilitated operational lift span Bridge. The project will then serve as an expansive pedestrian and bicycle parkway, connecting two Missouri River counties. The Coalition has an active board and hundreds of supporters throughout the world. We hope you will consider joining us by donating to our rehabilitation efforts.
