The proposed United States Triumphal Arch in Washington, D.C., is planned to be 250 feet tall.
The monument was proposed in 2025 as part of plans connected with the 250th anniversary of American independence. Its height numerically echoes the anniversary it is intended to commemorate.
The proposed site is Memorial Circle on Columbia Island, near the Arlington Memorial Bridge and Arlington National Cemetery. It would stand across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial, at the western end of the National Mall area.
The structure has sometimes been called the “Arc de Trump” by commentators, a reference to Paris’s Arc de Triomphe. That nickname is informal; the article’s formal title is United States Triumphal Arch.
