The St. Charles Corridor is a proposed light rail route for the St. Louis MetroLink light rail system in St. Louis, Missouri, USA.

Proposed route

The alignment may run off the Red Line in St. Louis County to the cities of St. Charles County, Missouri. The alignment may require preliminary studies as it spans the Missouri River. The two counties were connected by the Old St. Charles Bridge until it was demolished in 1998.
