Construction on a new helipad went through a restart as crews demolished a granite seal that would be the landing spot for Marine One, as work on new changes to the helipad requested by President Trump rolls along.
Construction workers on Wednesday used jackhammers to remove the seal, The Associated Press reported.
Initial development on the helipad began after crews removed the fighting arena from the White House’s South Lawn following the “Freedom 250 UFC” event to celebrate Trump’s 80th birthday in June.
Reports first circulated in May that Trump had discussed placing the helipad outside the White House to allow for the new VH-92A Patriot helicopter used for Marine One to land and not destroy the South Lawn.
