The Army’s initial estimate for the parade covered a range from $25 million to $45 million. But the estimate has been refined as the event nears and includes damage to streets and infrastructure anticipated from heavy armored vehicles, according to a Defense official who was not authorized to speak publicly.


I seriously doubt they will repair any of the roads in DC.


Eh, they do generally keep the main roads around the Federal buildings, mall, Capitol, etc., pretty decent so they will repair those.

They probably have to move out all the military equipment they've moved in (plus also take down the viewing stands, etc.), this part of the whole plan doesn't seem so crazy.

She pulled up to the Kennedy Center with her Les Mis face on and held his finger for the cameras, so I think she's fulfilled her contractual obligation for Q2 2025, no?

Her dress was on point at least.

I don't want to "support" the parade but would be interested to see flyover and fireworks from Arlington. Any good spots to watch from?

The US military is afraid to interact with the general population. There might be a protester or two 10 blocks away.
