The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has become overrun with algae just days after the landmark underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation, leaving visitors wondering if it will be cleared in time for 4th of July celebrations marking America’s 250th anniversary.
Photos taken over the weekend show National Park Service employees working to clear algae from the pool, which had turned the water green. The pool’s basin had been painted “American Flag Blue,” a dark navy, ahead of Independence Day. The pool in Washington measures about 2,000 feet in length and 160 feet in width.
The renovation began in April and was completed in June. According to The New York Times, the pool repairs cost $13.1 million.
