Triumphal arch would be 250ft tall, featuring a 60ft golden Lady Liberty, at the foot of Arlington Memorial Bridge
The Trump administration<\/a> on Friday released new renderings<\/a> 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\u2019s legacy-building quest during his second term in office, the so-called \u201cArc de Trump\u201d would stand 250ft tall, feature a 60ft golden Lady Liberty, and include a viewing deck. The phrase \u201cOne Nation Under God\u201d 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.
Trump dismissed all six commissioners last year<\/a> and replaced them with loyalists. The panel is one of two bodies responsible for signing off on his proposed White House ballroom. Although the CFA approved that project in February, a federal judge halted construction weeks later<\/a>. The president, however, had already demolished the historic East Wing<\/a> to make room for it.
The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC), which \u200bis chaired by one of Trump\u2019s former lawyers, also greenlit the building project days later, but the status of the work remains in limbo following the district court ruling.
The administration believes the arch will be \u201cone of the most iconic landmarks not only in Washington DC, but throughout the world\u201d, said Davis Ingle, a White House spokesperson, in a statement.
He added that the positioning of the arch, near Arlington National Cemetery would serve as \u201ca visual reminder of the noble sacrifices borne by so many American heroes throughout our 250-year history so we can enjoy our freedoms today\u201d.
A White House official also told the Guardian that the estimated cost of the triumphal arch was \u201cstill being calculated\u201d and would be shared in the near future. The White House anticipates \u201csome combination of public and private funds\u201d to be used to pay for the project, according to the official.
