Workers are busy cleaning the Lincoln Memorial’s Reflecting Pool due to an algae spike. This follows a renovation project costing over $14 million. President Donald Trump recently stated that the renovation was “done properly” and should “last for 100 years.”
On Thursday, an “American Flag Blue” paint sheet was seen drifting as workers tended to the algae issue. This sight took place amidst efforts to improve the pool’s condition, highlighting ongoing maintenance challenges.
Christine Kao of The Washington Post captured photos of workers handling the cleanup, emphasizing the immediate need to manage algae levels.
