[Arch City]

Metro St. Louis loves her parks and green spaces.

Below, work continues on the Gateway Mall, which stretches for slightly more than a mile (from the Mississippi River/Gateway Arch to St. Louis Union Station).

Below is work on the Kiener Plaza portion of the Gateway Mall, while work is also continuing on the Gateway Archgrounds.

The project's overall price tag is nearly $400-million for all phases.
