Grand station is a light rail station on the Red and Blue lines of the St. Louis MetroLink system.[4] This at-grade station is situated beneath the Grand Boulevard viaduct and connects to the region's busiest bus line, the #70 Grand.[5]
In 2011, the station was temporarily closed to permit the demolition of the Grand Boulevard viaduct and the station's original 1993 elevator towers and stairs. A temporary station was employed while the bridge was replaced and a new MetroLink station was constructed. The new station and transfer center underneath the completed viaduct opened on August 20, 2012.[6]

Public artwork
In 2012, Metro's Arts in Transit program commissioned the work Garden Under the Bridge by Barbara Grygutis for installation under the Grand Boulevard viaduct near the station.[7] In the center of the transit plaza, two “seed pod forms” create a gateway to the station and illuminate the surrounding area with electric-blue light. LED lighting embedded in the pavers work in concert with this main sculpture.[8]
