Street Repairs From Trump’s Parade Could Cost $16M

NBC News reports:

The cost to repair Washington, D.C., streets after the upcoming military parade celebrating the Army’s 250th anniversary could cost as much as $16 million, according to U.S. military officials. That’s part of an estimated $45 million total cost for the June 14 military parade, which coincides with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday. The cost estimates have fluctuated as planning continues.

The president defended the cost of the parade, calling it “peanuts compared to the value of doing it.” The Army is preparing for the potential harm to Washington streets with several measures it hopes will avert damage. These include using 1-inch-thick steel plates, some as long as 20 feet, at places along the parade route. The addition of the steel plates is expected to cost the Army about $3 million, officials said.
