Algae Cleanup at Lincoln Memorial’s Reflecting Pool Post-Renovation

Recently, workers have been addressing an algae problem at the Reflecting Pool near the Lincoln Memorial. This situation follows a substantial $14 million renovation project. President Donald Trump stated last week that these renovations were executed correctly and have the potential to endure for a century.

On Thursday, a sheet of “American Flag Blue” paint was observed floating as part of the cleanup process. This occurred amidst efforts to manage algae levels at the site.

The renovations were part of an effort to maintain and preserve the pool’s condition. Despite these efforts, the appearance of algae suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
