A federal judge temporarily blocked construction of a 250-foot memorial arch proposed by President Donald Trump for Washington, D.C., for 14 days, according to a Friday radio report.
The order came hours after the National Capital Planning Commission approved the project.
The ruling adds to a broader dispute over changes to federal landmarks in the capital, including a separate fight over a planned White House ballroom addition.
Trump has also signed an executive order intended to preserve changes he made to the Oval Office and Cabinet Room during his term.
“No major modification without the approval of Congress,” the order states, according to Friday’s broadcast.
Details on the judge, the court and the plaintiffs in the arch case were not specified in Friday’s report. The 14-day block gives the matter further time for review before construction could proceed.
