Riverfront CityArchRiver Project construction pictures, August, 2015, from the Eads Bridge and the South Riverfront Trail


Looking south from the Eads Bridge.



Area of the demolished Riverfront Landing Garage.



More earth work in the area of the demolished Riverfront Landing Garage.



From the Eads Bridge, toward the Arch, looking at the top of the concrete tunnel structure, over the train tracks.



Here's the elevated train tracks.



Looking down toward the western side of the Mississippi River where the train track enters the covered, concrete tunnel-like structure which was part of the old, now demolished, Riverfront Landing Garage.



This is the southernmost area of the South Riverfront Trail - an area of a long graffiti-covered wall

New road and highway construction at the St. Louis Riverfront from late 2014 to July 19, 2015








Pictures of new demolition and construction work at the Arch on the St. Louis Riverfront; some are dated July 19, 2015; some are dated March 26, 2015; and others are from sometime in 2014



The South Riverfront Trail was open in March and April, 2015, but, some water there; and, in July, the trail was closed, because of record rainfall in June.



The concrete work completed around the Arch grounds in July, 2015.

 The Arch Garage as that looked from the Metrolink train, passing by, in wintertime, 2014.

The Arch Garage demolished, and a large hole in the ground - July, 2015.






Leaves on the ground - the trees on the Arch grounds were cut down.  This was taken on one of the first days that the cutting started in 2014.










Earlier, this Spring, 2015? , I think, in March, in the rain, and, we had a lot of rain.



 "Marry Me" in large letters on paper signs held up to someone at the top!
  This was July 19th.





New concrete work at the Arch steps, to the Riverfront, in Spring, in March?, 2015

 Flooding closed the south Riverfront trail and the river cruise boats, recently.
