The freshly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is already running into trouble just days after a massive overhaul. Park workers tasked with cleaning a sudden spike of green algae from the water discovered a new problem on Thursday: the pool’s brand-new blue paint is already peeling off in large sheets.
A project to fix and paint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which President Donald Trump said would cost $1.8m (£1.33m), is now expected to cost $13.1m, federal records show.
