Lincoln Memorial Pool Gets Flag-Blue Makeover

On April 25, crews are giving the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting

Pool a fresh coat of American flag blue as part of a 1.5 million dollar.

Resurfacing project kicked off by President Trump.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgham shared the update on Friday, saying the work

includes scrubbing the Granted Basin and laying down an industrial grade.

Surface that will shine by the nation's 250th anniversary on July 4.

This revamp follows the pool's last major fix in 2012,

which cost about $34 million under the Obama stimulus and ties.

Into Trump's March Executive Order to spruce up federal lands in DC

ahead of the big celebration. Meanwhile, Trump's much bigger $400 million

dollar White House ballroom project faces roadblocks from a federal judge

who ruled it needs. Congress is okay for above ground work,

though underground security parts can move forward. These efforts highlight

the push for beautification across parks,

fountains, and even golf courses. Setting the stage for a polished capital

come the semi-quentennial. That's your update from U.S. News Today,
