This is the Bike/walking bridge that is located about 4 mi from my house. They just got done building it and put the finishing touches on it this last month. It goes over the Des Moines River and is supposed to be one of the highest bridges of it's kind. 4th picture shows the car bridge that goes over the river and the bike bridge is easily 2 times as tall :D

wow, thats kind of neat.

the railings look rusted and stuff already though?

The rust is normal. They used some type of metal that you don't have to ever paint but it gets a natural/rusty look. I will have to do some looking around and see if i can find out what it actually is.

edit: it is called Cor-Ten Steel

That looks like a fun ride. we have a trail all around our city that connects to other trails through Michigan http://www.bayfoundation.org/pdfs/rwrt_map.pdf Someday I may ride it all.LOL I don't think I'd make it.

that looks like a long trail there in michigan...here in iowa there are almost 700mi of interconnected trails throughout the state....i think i will stick to my daily 14 mi stretch lol. i just recently started riding again and hope to get out alot this spring/summer.

That looks cool!

Awesome!!!!

Cor-ten steel is what they make shipping containers out of... very tough mess, but if you paint it, it won't rust.... anywho, looks really cool......
