The new renderings of President Donald Trump's proposed 250-foot triumphal arch were unveiled Friday.
A 12-page plan was released by the U.S. Commission on Fine Arts, showcasing the towering structure. Trump's proposed arch would be built near the Arlington Memorial Bridge, in between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, with a traffic circle connecting Northern Virginia to Washington, D.C.
Trump originally revealed the plan in 2025 at a White House dinner party and has claimed that the country has been waiting two centuries to build such a structure.
"For 200 years they've wanted to build an arc," Trump said, referring to an arch. "They have 57 cities throughout the world that have them. We're the only major city – Washington, D.C. – that doesn't."
In February, a group of Vietnam War veterans and a retired architectural historian sued to block the construction, citing that it would "dishonor their military and foreign service" by obstructing the Arlington National Cemetery view.
If built, it would become the tallest triumphal arch in the world.
