For comparison, the Lincoln Memorial, which sits opposite the Memorial Bridge of the would-be arch site, is 99 feet tall.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The White House plans to seek approval to build the Independence Arch from the Commission of Fine Arts and the National Capital Planning Commission, the White House official said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d like it to be the biggest one of all,&#8221; Trump told reporters Sunday night on Air Force One. &#8220;We&#8217;re the biggest, most powerful nation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Planes can&#8217;t cross over the National Mall in Washington due to flight restrictions, and the same is true of the Pentagon, so current flight paths leave them to follow the Potomac River, at relatively low heights.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CBS News reached out to the Federal Aviation Administration about the DCA flight path, but due to the government shutdown, does not expect to receive a response until after the government reopens.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The arch is going to be one of the most iconic landmarks not only in Washington, D.C., but throughout the world,&#8221; said White House spokesman Davis Ingle. &#8220;President Trump&#8217;s bold vision will be imprinted upon the fabric of America and be felt by generations to come. His successes will continue to give the greatest nation on earth \u2014 America \u2014 the glory it deserves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It appears nothing about the arch project has been submitted to the FAA&#8217;s Obstruction Evaluation\/Airport Airspace Analysis site.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump announced his plans for a new triumphal arch last year, and showed a model to reporters in October. On Jan. 23, the president posted images of an arch to Truth Social, without comment. The president told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2025\/12\/31\/trump-arch-washington-dc-america-250-00708590?utm_ctopic\/news&amp;utm_source=flipboard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Politico<\/a> in December that he hoped construction on the project would begin in two months.
