Strategically located at the intersection of Interstates 64 and 170, also known as Highway 40 and the Innerbelt, Richmond Heights enjoys quick access to many of the area’s top attractions and amenities. Calling the center of St. Louis County home, the City is a short, six-mile drive from downtown St. Louis and all of its major resources.
Opening for service in 2006 was the MetroLink’s Cross County extension. The project added nine additional stations to the system’s roster, including one serving Richmond Heights — situated along Galleria Parkway. This supplement has certainly aided in efficient transport in and out of the Richmond Heights community. The City also has access to the St. Louis Regional Transit’s MetroBus service.
Also completed in 2006 was the more than $1 billion expansion program at Lambert-St. Louis Airport. The busy facility, which is comprised of a number of major air carriers, is accessible to air travelers within 20 minutes of Richmond Heights.
