Project Information

The Trestle is an 1.5 mile abandoned railroad alignment purchased by Great Rivers Greenway. The Trestle begins at Branch Street, crossing over Interstate 70 to Cass Avenue in the City of St. Louis. The Trestle connects into the Riverfront Trail and the McKinley Bridge Bikeway which crosses over the Mississippi River.

Status:
Great Rivers Greenway (GRG) purchased the Trestle in 2005. In 2007, GRG initiated work to develop a conceptual plan for developing the trestle into a public trail and greenway and presented the plans for public comment in Fall, 2007. In 2008, GRG worked to prepare a Schematic plan with detailed engineering drawings of the Trestle presented to the public in October 2008. In 2009, GRG is working on detailed engineering documents to enable the project to proceed towards construction.

Partner(s):
City of St. Louis, Grace Hill Neighborhood Services
