Knife-Sliced Liner Detected in Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Renovation
TL;DR
The liner beneath the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, installed during a $16 million renovation, was cut with a sharp knife or razor, damaging the foam sealant. Park Police are investigating after a June 9 report, and a court filing notes the damage may not be isolated. A grainy video and other incidents prompted officials to review the scope of vandalism, with repairs planned after Independence Day. The episode comes amid scrutiny of the pool project and contracting tied to it.
