Balustrade Removal on Arlington Memorial Bridge

Construction workers in vests work on removing the granite balustrade on Arlington Memorial Bridge

A contractor carefully removed, packed and transported the bridge’s granite balustrade to an off-site location for comprehensive cleaning and repair. The structure that supports the balustrade needs to be replaced, and this is the first time all of the stone has been removed since 1932. When the new structure is complete, workers will reinstall the granite balustrade in the exact same locations where they have been for the last 86 years. This is important because it will help maintain the bridge's historic fabric and function.
