Project Overview:
Partnership at its best! The Cities of Kirkwood, Sunset Hills and Fenton worked with Great Rivers Greenway and Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) to fund a dedicated walking and biking path on the north side of the new westbound I-44 bridge over the Meramec River, just west of Highway 270. The three communities agreed to fund the connections to the bridge on either side of the river, while Missouri Department of Transportation and Great Rivers Greenway funded the structure of the walking and biking path on the bridge. This project is complete!
Project Location:
North side of new I-44 bridge westbound bridge over the Meramec River just west of Highway 270. The connection to the bridge on the west side links to the Meramec Greenway along Yarnell Road and to Stoneywood Drive (by Emmeneger Park) on east side.
Project Partners:
City of Kirkwood
City of Sunset Hills
City of Fenton
Great Rivers Greenway
Missouri Department of Transportation
Project Status
The walking and biking path structure on the bridge is complete! Join us for a Community Celebration on Saturday June 24, 2023 with all project partners! The festivities will include a greenway parade, free food, live music, nature activities & the chance to check out the new greenway. Find all event details here.
Reminder that this greenway, like all greenways, is for everyone (people walking, running, biking, pushing a stroller, using a wheelchair). It’s up to all of us to share the path and be considerate of others. Specifically, some of the destinations near this new connection (namely Powder Valley Nature Center and Emmenegger Nature Park) do not allow bicycles on their trails. So if you’re exploring that way on a bike, please use their handy bike racks to park your bike and enjoy these places on foot!
