‘American flag blue’ coating apparently peeling off in Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is facing significant issues less than two weeks after reopening following a $14.7 million renovation contract. Video footage from the Washington Examiner shows the new American flag blue coating is already peeling. This development follows a separate incident this week where the pool turned bright green due to algae blooms. These combined failures represent a series of blunders occurring at the National Mall shortly after the project's completion.
