I went there about 15 years ago climbed all over it. Way cool. I think the city of Boonville now owns it and is working to make it so Katy trail users can cross it. When that happens I'm sure they will make it extremely difficult to climb the towers etc. I would say ther will be barriers to keep people away from things. I would suggest anyone wanting to go to do so soon. May already be too late.

Just did some looking on the web. There is a walkway built with railings and chain link fence leading to the middle where the lift span is. Not sure from picture if from Boonville side or other side. Might still be able to sneak on opposite side of walkway. More potential for other people to be around and spot you. I hope those who have not seen it get to.

Last time I was there (several years ago), there was no access from the Boonville side.

Unless I was smoking crack..

I think you're right, I recall it being totally cut off at that side, we would have had to go around to the other side.

You could climb up to the bridge on the boonville side. It's not necessarily easy but people have done it

I've been meaning to check this out before they convert it to the Katy trail. I'm not sure how much they will be changing this bridge, but you can be sure they will make where you can't explore.
