On April 2, nearly a year after a tornado strike, Lambert-St. Louis International reopens its C Concourse. The concourse was closed April 22, 2011, after sustaining heavy roof, window and interior damage from a tornado and related storms.
The cost to repair the ceiling, windows and interior could total close to $50 million. The original repair estimate was $35 million, with insurance covering all but several thousand dollars related to a deductible. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is covering the majority of the deductible.
The new concourse will feature a Schlafly Beer Bar and Grill, a Mediterranean Cafe and a possible Starbucks. American, Frontier and Cape Air will return to Concourse C after relocating elsewhere in the airport during construction.
The previously planned renovations that were completed along with tornado restoration projects include an all-new tiled corridor, brighter ceilings, oval "cloud" lighting, fully renovated restrooms, new signage, digital directory maps and five sets of art glass screens created by local artists.
Passengers will experience a new lineup of stores and restaurants that also were renovated because of the tornado damage.
