The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation is complete, and the pool is set to be filled with water soon, according to the Trump administration.
President Donald Trump has put the cost of the work on the pool at $1.5 million to $2 million. However, records show at least $14.8 million worth of contracts has been awarded for the project, according to PBS Newshour.
The Washington Times reported that the renovation is done and the pool will be filled with water any day now, according to the administration.
The discrepancy between Trump's stated cost range and the documented contract amounts represents a gap of more than $12 million. The records cited by PBS Newshour indicate the total value of contracts awarded for the project far exceeds the figures provided by the president.
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., has undergone renovation work. The administration's announcement marks the completion of that work, with the pool now prepared to be filled with water.
