CloseThe Metro Bike Link is a part of the large public and government funded project to further enhance the scope of the Metro Link Commuter Train system. It links both sides of the Mississippi River; both St. Louis, Missouri and East St Louis, Illinois. The corrosion protection of hot-dip galvanizing with a color coordinated top coat answered the aesthetic and corrosion protection concerns.
