Project Overview
The Loughborough Bridge over Union Pacific Railroad is a vital multimodal crossing in Carondelet Park in Saint Louis, Missouri. Carondelet Park is the third largest city park and includes such amenities as playgrounds, walking paths, sports fields, fishing ponds, and the Carondelet YMCA. The bridge connects the public the Park, essential businesses such as a Schnucks Supermarket and Carondelet Public Library, and Interstate 55. The upgrade of this bridge will directly benefit the Carondelet neighborhood and visitors to Carondelet Park by increasing and improving mobility, safety, and access to pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists.
The project route is found on the Loughborough Avenue Bridge over Union Pacific Railroad. The bridge was originally built in 1959 and widened in 2009 and is currently classified as poor condition. As of 2020, the Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) rate was 21,390 and is expected to grow to 28,877 in 2040.
