Lambert-St. Louis International Airport Expansion
ST. LOUIS, (SLFP.com) - The first new runway at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport® in 50 years will reduce weather delays and allow the Airport to manage increasing passenger demand for air service.

Runway 11-29 is the centerpiece of the $1.059 billion Airport Expansion Program begun in 1998 to expand Lambert's airfield capacity. The new runway went into service April 2006, along with two parallel taxiways and a number of connecting taxiways. The 9,000-foot runway provides the Airport the ability to manage growing passenger demand.

The largest capital improvements project in St. Louis history, the Airport Expansion Program involved more than 550 companies and organizations, about 80 percent of which were from the St. Louis area.

In addition to building a new airfield, the Expansion Program built the first traffic tunnel in the State of Missouri as part of a new segment of Lindbergh Boulevard. Natural Bridge Road and five other arterials were rebuilt or modified.

The Expansion funded the design and construction of a new elementary school in the Pattonville School District and a new fire-fighting facility in the Robertson Fire Protection District. The Expansion also moved 13.5 million cubic yards of soil, which is enough that a 6-foot-by-6-foot pile of the material would stretch from St. Louis to Seattle.

Lambert - St. Louis International Airport has grown from a balloon launch location called Kinloch Field to a major transportation center. The originally hayfields were purchased by Major Albert Lambert and renamed it Lambert Field in 1920. The airport has played an important role in air transportation. Col. Charles Lindbergh departed from Lambert Flying Field in 1927 St. Louis for New York to begin his historic non-stop solo flight to Paris, France.
