The Discovery Bridge are two twin truss bridges carrying Route 370 across the Missouri River between St. Louis County and St. Charles County, Missouri.
The shoulder on both sides is designated a bicycle (and pedestrian) path. Separate bicycle/pedestrian access ramps are available immediately on both sides of the bridge. This provides a connection to traffic to and from the Katy Trail, which passes under the bridge.
