Upper and Lower Plaza Rehabilitation

Fencing has been put up for assessment work and will limit visitor access to the upper plaza; however, access to the column, rotunda, and observation deck will be maintained. Worker safety and resource protection are key. Thank you for your understanding.

Limited Seating and No Restrooms

Rehabilition work has begun on the memorial plaza. During this time, there will be no access to the restrooms at the memorial. Also, construction fencing at the memorial limits seating. Restrooms and seating areas are be available at the Visitor Center.
