Free Shuttle Service From Laclede’s Landing to the Arch

Posted on

UPDATE 1.10.16:
With the Gateway Arch closed for renovations and the riverboats closed for the off-season, the shuttle is running every 20 minutes on Saturday and Sunday only, 11am-5pm between Laclede’s Landing, the Old Courthouse and the entrance to the Arch grounds at the Old Cathedral.

A free shuttle service for downtown attractions in and around CityARchRiver Project launched April 20th.

With the transformation of the Arch Grounds underway, residents and tourists alike can still explore and enjoy everything the area has to offer via a convenient, free shuttle.

The Laclede’s Landing-Arch Shuttle visits each of the four stops  every 20 minutes between 11am and  7pm every single day. Stops include Laclede’s Landing, the Old Courthouse, the entrance to the Arch grounds at the Old Cathedral and the Mississippi Riverfront. The shuttle is air-conditioned and able to accommodate passengers with wheelchairs.

“Visitors who want to take Metro or park and grab lunch on Laclede’s Landing and then visit the riverboats, go up in the Arch, and explore the exhibits at the Old Courthouse now have a convenient way to do so,” said Laura Tobey, executive director of the Laclede’s Landing Merchant’s Association.

This free service is being provided by Great Rivers Greenway, the regional parks and trails district, which is renovating the riverfront to elevate Leonor K. Sullivan Boulevard 2.5 feet, adding a walking and biking path, lighting and amenities like benches and landscaping. This work is part of the CityArchRiver project. The riverfront component of the project is scheduled to be completed this fall.

“We’re so excited for the connections that the riverfront and entire CityArchRiver project will bring – you’ll be able to easily get the from the river or the Arch grounds under the magnificent Eads Bridge to Laclede’s Landing,” said Susan Trautman, executive director of Great Rivers Greenway. “In the meantime, we want everyone to enjoy downtown attractions as easily as possible while construction on the riverfront is underway, and a shuttle should help facilitate that.”
