ST. LOUIS — The city of St. Louis is working to further advance its new single-terminal makeover of Lambert airport.
The Airport Commission this month OK'd the facility's amended agreement with its airlines, pushing it out to June 2027 from June 2025.
That dictates fees, which are largely unchanged, according to the airport's leader, but also authorizes another $650 million in spending on the single-terminal project, which has been billed as costing $3 billion. Lambert already has taken on debt for an initial $331 million in so-called single terminal enabling projects.
The Board of Estimate and Apportionment already approved the new amendment, and Director Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge said she hopes the Board of Aldermen will give final sign-off next month.
Current airport estimates are that 90% of the design could be finalized by June 2026, with construction on the new terminal's west wing beginning that year, and construction on an eastern wing beginning in late 2028.
