Espelho d'água do Lincoln Memorial é reabastecido após repintura em tom de azul

A água está retornando ao espelho d'água do Lincoln Memorial após um projeto de semanas para refazer a superfície e repintar sua bacia em um tom que o presidente Trump chama de azul da bandeira americana. Muitos visitantes dizem que a mudança parece sutil.

O espelho d'água na base do Lincoln Memorial começou a ser reabastecido na sexta-feira após a polêmica obra. O presidente Trump havia ordenado que a superfície fosse escurecida, saindo de seu tom cinza anterior. Trump disse a repórteres que o projeto vedaria frestas e evitaria vazamentos. Ele estimou o custo em US$ 2 milhões e afirmou que duraria de 50 a 100 anos. Registros do Departamento do Interior mostram que o contrato com a Atlantic Industrial Coatings totaliza US$ 13,1 milhões. Uma organização sem fins lucrativos havia entrado com uma ação para interromper o trabalho devido à falta de análises de preservação histórica. Visitantes que observavam o reabastecimento expressaram opiniões variadas. Alguns elogiaram a aparência mais limpa, enquanto outros disseram que não conseguiram notar muita diferença na cor.
