Excavation for Trump's 250-foot arch near Arlington starts within two weeks, with a lawsuit pending
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum set the timeline; veterans and an architectural historian are suing to stop it.
The 'Great Triumphal Arch' would rise at Memorial Circle, between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. Building it would take two to three years. The money comes from funds earmarked for the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the suit says Congress never approved it.
