I rode the Katy end to end 13-16 May; a great trip. To be honest, the detour at Sedalia is a non-issue. In fact, similar to other comments, it was a nice break from the trail. I ride Fort Worth streets nearly every day, and find traffic to be part of the deal. While it's true the detour has vehicle traffic and there is no shoulder on the road, riding in single file as far to the right as is possible is plenty safe.

We finished our Jeff City to Sedalia ride yesterday and the detour was fine other than it was 97 degrees on blacktop roads. HOT!!! But no issues at all and the detour is well marked all the way back to the Sedalia Depot.

Completely agree on the detour. There is a map right at the trailhead, signs are posted on the street and there are biking/KT marks painted on the city streets. No issues at all finding the connection to the Katy Trail on the other end. We rode from Sedalia to Rocheport earlier this week (Aug. 18, 2018)
