Federal Judge Reaffirms 48-Hour Notice Rule for Trump Arch Excavation

A federal judge reaffirmed a court order requiring the Trump administration to give a 48-hour notice before any excavation or construction begins at the Memorial Circle site of the proposed Great Triumphal Arch near Arlington National Cemetery, pending archaeological review. The administration had earlier announced that excavation of the 250-foot arch would start within two weeks, despite ongoing lawsuits and the lack of final clearance from the National Capital Planning Commission.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum reiterated the timeline, and the Interior Department said the work could last two to three years. Veterans groups and a retired Army major general criticized the project as disrespectful to the historic cemetery.
