Judge Halts Arch Project with 48-Hour Rule | Perth News
Description
A federal judge has slapped a 48-hour notice requirement on the controversial Arlington National Cemetery arch project, halting any construction or demolition without prior court approval — a sharp reversal from the previous 14-day window. The move follows a lawsuit by veterans and an architectural historian who argue the administration lacks legal authority to proceed without congressional approval, citing a 1925 law. While the government insists the work is limited to artifact digs, the judge’s order underscores mounting legal hurdles. The arch, modeled after Paris’ Arc de Triomphe, is part of a broader D.C. legacy plan but faces fierce opposition for disrupting historic views from the Lincoln Memorial. For now, all activity is frozen — pending that critical 48-hour heads-up.
