This trail provides a good commuter link. It's partially separated, so some intersections have underpasses and others do not. Those with underpasses provide a street crossing: Which makes it connective and means you have a good way around when the underpass floods.
The section west of highway 2 was repaved in 2008 or 2009, and is now a nice smooth ride. Only the last few hundred feet near the department of roads is in poor shape.
This trail is often a good alternative to the old cheney trail, even though it takes you out of the way.
You are right next to highway 2, but there's a pretty good distance to the trail and the trail sits below the highway at most points. So the traffic noise is fairly low, and the only crossings are major intersections.
