Update: Trump's D.C. Arch Project Is One Step Closer to Reality
The Trump administration's proposed D.C. arch project has received approval from a federal arts commission. The modified design maintains key features while removing certain elements, such as a platform and tunnel access. The project is now awaiting further review from the National Capital Planning Commission, with some legal challenges already emerging.
- ▪The proposed arch is intended to honor America's 250th birthday and will be located in Memorial Circle on Columbia Island.
- ▪The design has been altered to remove a platform and tunnel access, but retains large golden sculptures atop the arch.
- ▪A lawsuit has already been filed to stop the project, and the Federal Aviation Administration is reviewing potential aerial hazards.
