Of the bridge crossings available from St.Charles, which one(s) have provisions for bikes such as bike lanes or pedestrian/sidewalk area. Which ones, if any, are best avoided due to narrow shoulders or no sidewalks?

The only bridges that connect St Charles with St Louis county are interstate highway bridges. I would not recommend this to anyone as there are no bike paths or dedicated shoulders and what shoulders are there will be filled with glass and debris.

The Page Avenue Extension bridge at MM 42.8 has a wide bike/pedestrian lane that is separated from the highway by a concrete and fence divider. To be more exact, it is actually a separate bridge hung on the same supports as the highway bridge. It takes you to Creve Couer Park. Connects directly to the trail via a nice switchback climb on the St Charles side and a couple of miles of parkland on the other.

Bicycles are permitted to use the shoulder on the Discovery bridge north
of St. Charles.
