Summary
Photos from last week show government employees collecting evidence at at least 12 spots in the drained Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, marking a visible response to the coating failure.
Three of those locations match failure points identified in a Washington Post analysis, where newly applied coating had peeled away.
The work focused on the pool’s damaged areas, suggesting investigators are scrutinizing specific breakdown points rather than conducting a general inspection.
The evidence-gathering adds to scrutiny of the Reflecting Pool repair project and the durability of the newly applied surface.
