Final Trump arch plans submitted to city omit proposed military complex

Final site plans for a proposed 250-foot-tall triumphal arch backed by President Trump have been submitted to the city via documentation from the Interior Department to the National Capital Planning Commission. The newly submitted plans omit the military features and complex that the president had previously stated he intended to add to the project.

The initial announcement regarding the military components of the arch was made by the president in late September. The latest documentation reflects a departure from those earlier proposals, removing the planned military complex from the official design specifications currently under review.
