However, in icy conditions, it's extremely dangerous! I've ended up walking the bike on various instances, and recently figured out a good way to avoid the bridge and just take the road to get across Knoxville.

In other Peoria bridge news, I finally checked out the work on the Bob Micheal (sp?) bridge. The shoulder on the south side has been left open for pedestrians and bikes while the bridge deck is being removed and replaced. They even set up overhead lighting for the shoulder! Very nice!
