Little by little, the grounds, facilities, and amenities of the St. Louis Gateway Arch are reopening to the public. Expect work on this $380 million project to conclude later this year.
Ashley Jost reports on the latest opening in the incremental process of renovating the riverfront grounds beneath the St. Louis Gateway Arch. The North Gateway and Gateway Arch Park are the latest pieces of the puzzle.
"The 7.5-acre North Gateway development includes bike and foot paths, an amphitheater area and routes to Laclede’s Landing. That’s all part of about 90 acres of open park space around the Arch," explains Jost.
The ongoing, $380 million riverfront project "will wrap up with Kiener Plaza renovations to be finished next month, then the Arch and museum which are to open by the end of the year," adds Jost.
Last Planetizen checked in with the renovations, a riverfront bike and pedestrian path was opening to the public in June 2016.
