Monument Reopens After Four Months Of Interior Repairs
Washington’s Washington Monument reopened to visitors after four months of interior repairs caused by a balky elevator latch. The 500 foot climb to fix the latch delayed opening by about 45 minutes as staff and rangers navigated the issue. The repair included an upgraded lifting system and safety features and will lead to a more comfortable visit with a planned yearlong scaffolding project to seal damaged stones starting in July.
