President Donald Trump has announced his next Washington construction project: a pedestrian bridge he says will connect the National Mall with the Potomac River.
The planned walkway would flank the Lincoln Memorial and take pedestrians over a pair of busy roadways, the president and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said in the Oval Office on Thursday afternoon. The project is the latest in Trump’s growing list of changes to Washington’s monumental core, including his recent effort to renovate the Lincoln Memorial’s Reflecting Pool.
