Triumphal arch would be 250ft tall, featuring a 60ft golden Lady Liberty, at the foot of Arlington Memorial Bridge
The Trump administration on Friday released new renderings of the triumphal arch the president wants to install in Memorial Circle at the foot of the Arlington Memorial Bridge.
As part of Donald Trump’s legacy-building quest during his second term in office, the so-called “Arc de Trump” would stand 250ft tall, feature a 60ft golden Lady Liberty, and include a viewing deck. The phrase “One Nation Under God” would stretch across the top of the structure, according to the latest plans from Harrison Design.
The mock-up was submitted to the Commission of Fine Arts (CFA), who are next due to meet on 16 April to consider the proposal.
I’d hope you’re right, but would the FAA be concerned with something hint 310’ tall? Seems low for aircraft, but I don’t know where the FAA’s domain starts and stops.
It doesn’t really matter, if any part of it gets built, we’re going to tear it right the fuck down.
I’ll believe that when I see it…
Personally I think it’s too close to the river; if it were another couple hundred feet inland it would probably be better. But I am not a pilot and don’t play one on tv. At the very least they’d have to put an aircraft warning light on top.
