Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Drained Again: Full Timeline

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is being drained again for additional repairs, representing a setback in President Trump’s multimillion-dollar renovation of the Washington, D.C. landmark. This ambitious refurbishment effort was intended to ensure the historic site was ready for the nation's 250th birthday celebrations on July 4. However, ongoing issues have plagued the project, forcing another round of maintenance to address problems that have delayed the completion of the President Trump-backed renovation project.
