Park Over the Highway
North Gateway Park
The design starts with a new, dramatic park that will extend over
I-44 between Chestnut and Market Streets will join the Arch
grounds with the Old Courthouse, finally physically connecting
St. Louis to its most famous landmark. It will allow visitors to walk
from the Old Courthouse to the Arch grounds to the riverfront on
one continuous greenway, without a curb or stair step in their way.
Starting in Fall 2014, the current Arch parking garage will be replaced with four acres
of usable park space for festivals, concerts, and community events. It will include a
Lewis and Clark Explorers’ Garden for children with a raised walkway featuring views of
Eads Bridge and the Mississippi River. Washington Avenue will end at Memorial Drive
allowing the park to expand directly to Eads Bridge and Leonor K. Sullivan Boulevard
along the river.

Riverfront
A New Entrance to the Arch
Leonor K. Sullivan Boulevard will be elevated, reducing flooding
occurrences that close the Riverfront during the year. This will
provide access for pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles to a 1.5
mile promenade for activities and commerce between Biddle
Street and Chouteau Avenue, with connections to existing bicycle
trail networks.
A new glass entrance to the museum below the Arch will face the Park Over the
Highway and the Old Courthouse and bring natural light underground to create a fitting
terminus of the Gateway Mall. Museum exhibits will be redesigned to tell the story of
Westward Expansion and St. Louis in new, interactive ways.
CityArchRiver 2015 is a transformational project that will physically connect the
Arch to the city and river that surround it for the first time in the iconic landmark’s
history. Visitors will have easier, safe access to the grounds and more to do when they
get there. Learn how you can be part of the transformation at www.cityarchriver.org.
