Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has announced plans to start work on a massive arch. The project is expected to break ground within the next two weeks. This development comes after a long wait of over 125 years.

The excavation work is set to begin despite a pending lawsuit and other obstacles. Critics argue that the project requires congressional approval, which it has not received. Additionally, a DC planning commission has not given its approval, and an FAA review is still pending.

Further details on the project and its status are available from the source. The administration is moving forward with the plan, following a pattern of proceeding with projects despite opposition and incomplete approvals.
