Union-Lindell Bridge Open House
The City of St. Louis seeks public input on the plan to reconstruct the intersection of Union and Lindell Boulevards
January 30, 2024, from 4-7 p.m. at the Dennis & Judith Jones Visitor and Education Center in Forest Park.
During the public meeting, City officials and consultants will share information about the project that will remove and replace the Union/Lindell bridges spanning over Forest Park Parkway and MetroLink.
The public will also be able to give input on other changes to the roadway approaching the intersection. There will not be a formal presentation, and individuals may attend the meeting at any time during the meeting.
Background
This intersection is supported on two independent bridge structures spanning Forest Park Parkway, an east-west principal arterial, and MetroLink light rail tracks. The intersection serves as a major entrance on the north side of Forest Park and connecting North City residents to the many cultural institutions located within the Park.
The project proposes the complete removal and reconstruction of the Union-Lindell Bridges over Forest Park Parkway and MetroLink. The project limits encompass the intersection as well as the approaching roadways and will improve safety for all modes of the traveling public. Traffic signal equipment will be updated and excessive paved width with be repurposed to more productive uses.
