It was designed by architect Eero Saarinen and structural engineer Hannskarl Bandel in 1947. Construction started on February 12, 1963, and ended on October 28, 1965, costing $13 million ($89,638,095 today). The monument opened to the public on July 10, 1967. The Gateway Arch is an architectural marvel because it is designed as a weighted or flattened Catenary arch, which has never been attempted on such a large scale before this project.
Built as a monument to the westward expansion of the United States, the Arch has become the iconic image of St. Louis.
