US EditionDC Mayor Concerned About Parade Tanks’ Impact on Streets
- Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser expressed concern on May 29 about potential damage to city streets from the Army's June 14 parade featuring 28 Abrams tanks and other armored vehicles.
- The parade, set for the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday coinciding with President Trump's 79th birthday, was expanded to include 150 military vehicles after additions ordered by administration officials.
- Officials stated thick metal plates will cover turns to protect roads, and the Army said it did not expect street damage and would cover repair costs if damages occur.
- The parade's expense could reach $45 million or more, potentially more than double the 2018 estimate, with downtown streets hosting twice as many armored vehicles as Abrams tanks.
- Bowser emphasized the city should receive adequate funding for any street repairs, reflecting ongoing tensions from prior disagreements over large military parades in the capital.
