Opposition to the Triumph Arch Project at Arlington

Opponents of the proposed 250-foot triumphal arch project are voicing concerns about its impact at Arlington. They highlight potential disruptions to military burials during construction and once the project is completed.

On September 4, bicyclists were seen riding around Memorial Circle, the proposed site for the arch. Veterans and Democratic leaders are intensifying their campaign against the construction of the arch planned by former President Donald Trump.

Critics argue that the project is illegal. They believe it would detract from the solemn experience of visiting the Arlington National Cemetery. The start of construction is approaching, prompting these groups to amplify their objections.
