Trump announces plan to build a promenade connecting the Lincoln Memorial to the Potomac River.
President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that his administration intends to construct a pedestrian walkway, or "promenade," connecting the Lincoln Memorial to the Potomac River. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum stated the project would use footbridges to cross two existing roadways, fulfilling the original vision for the site. The announcement coincided with the refilling of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, another recently completed renovation project.
