Summary:

The Ted Jones Trail extends under I-70 in a 392-foot long box tunnel, an excellent location for a public art project that creates an engaging, enjoyable, attractive and out of the ordinary space to move through on bike or on foot. Justin Tolentino, designer and main artist, worked with Jim McKelvey of Third Degree Glass Factory to design and produce a three-dimensional mural throughout the tunnel. The artists worked with students from McCluer High School and teachers, Pam Hellwege and Michele Motil, to complete the project that was dedicated in May, 2006.

Ted Jones Trail, a two-mile multi-use trail in North St. Louis County, links historic downtown Ferguson, Cool Valley, and Normandy, and terminates at the MetroLink light rail station on the University of Missouri-St. Louis campus. This trail is part of the longer North County Bikeway, which opened in 2005 and runs from the UM-St. Louis campus, north through Normandy and Ferguson, along the southern boundary of Florissant and ending in Spanish Lake.

Trailnet is responsible for the interior of the tunnel, the hillsides surrounding the tunnel are maintained by the Missouri Department of Transportation and St. Louis County Parks maintains the trail.
