No timetable to reopen Washington Monument

The Washington Monument will remain closed indefinitely because of damage from last month’s earthquake. Even though the National Park Service held a news conference Monday to discuss repairs to one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, officials said they do not know when the work will be finished and the monument will reopen.

“We recognize that everyone lives in an instantaneous world,” National Park Service spokesman Bill Line told The Washington Examiner. “But the Washington Monument is a timeless piece and does not have a timeline.”
