New Arch grounds renderings released by CityArchRiver
The organization spearheading the effort to revamp the grounds around the Gateway Arch say the project is progressing well.
In it's third "report to the community," presented Tuesday night, CityArchRiver detailed MoDOT's construction time line for the planned "lid" over the I-70 depressed section. The agency says construction will begin this summer.
The finished "park over the highway" will connect the Arch grounds to downtown St. Louis. Presenters also thanked the audience for passing Proposition P, a sales tax that will be used to help finance the project.
CityArchRiver also released new renderings for the plan to revamp the museum under the Arch. You can see those images on their website.

Phase 2 of Arch grounds re-do finds funding
The next phase of the planned improvements to the Arch grounds is set to get underway this summer.
Crews had already planned to begin construction of the "lid" over I-70.
Now, the rebuild of Leonor K. Sullivan Boulevard, which runs along the riverfront at the base of the Arch steps, will also start this year. The road will be elevated and redesigned to include bike paths and pedestrian walkways.
Funding had already been in place for the $47 million park that will cap the highway. Newly found savings from that project will help fund the other.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that engineers have determined that the concrete walls of the "depressed section" of I-70 don’t need to be replaced, as originally thought. So the $11-million cost savings on that project will fund the Leonor K. Sullivan rebuild.
