Trump unveils repaired Lincoln Memorial pool after costs exceed $14m, up from under $2m

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has recently undergone extensive repairs, as unveiled by Trump, marking a significant and costly restoration effort. Budget overruns have pushed expenses to over $14 million, primarily due to algae problems stemming from a failed blue coating. Officials assert that these costs are essential for the pool’s lasting quality. Fortunately, after the essential maintenance work, the site is now welcoming visitors once again.
