Lambert Airport Terminal 1 MetroLink station to close for two weeks

The Lambert St. Louis International Airport Terminal 1 MetroLink Station is scheduled to be closed for two weeks as crews conduct rehabilitation work, Metro said.

From July 27 through Aug. 9, crews are scheduled to repair concrete, paint, add tactile strips to the station platform, upgrade the electrical system and install new lights at the station, Metro said.

The station is scheduled to reopen on Aug. 10.

During the construction, MetroLink service will end at the Lambert Airport Terminal 2 MetroLink Station, and the airport is slated to operate free terminal shuttles to connect Metro passengers between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.

The airport will have signage to help direct passengers to the Terminal Shuttles, Metro said. Riders, however, may experience delays of up to 30 minutes.
