The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump plans to begin building a 76-meter triumphal arch in Washington within two weeks, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum announced on Thursday.
The construction plan is moving forward despite a court dispute over the project. The National Capital Planning Commission, or NCPC, has also not approved the arch.
The project therefore faces both legal opposition and an unresolved planning process as the administration prepares to start construction.
