Project Alignment

The St. Louis MetroLink Green Line is a dedicated lane, in-street, light rail project, which has been designed to 15% completion. It is 5.6 miles long and will travel from Fairground Park at Grand Boulevard, along Natural Bridge Avenue, east to Jefferson Avenue. Then south along Jefferson Avenue to Chippewa Avenue in South St. Louis.

More than 2,500 people provided feedback in 2023 during the 15% design phase. The majority overwhelmingly support the alignment but expressed concerns about property impacts and construction costs. Thus, the Green Line will have 10 stations with three design options. The three options are: Palm St./Salisbury St. Station, Russell Ave. Station and Arsenal Street Station. Having 10 stations decreases the physical footprint, improves travel times and reduces costs while maintaining access and an equitable transit system.

As part of this project, there will be 12 new light rail vehicles, a new transfer station for connection to existing MetroLink, and a dedicated maintenance facility at the existing Ewing Yard.
