Capitol Dome nears the end of massive restoration

The Architect of the Capitol has begun the final painting phase of the Dome Restoration Project.

Starting at the top, painting the base of the Statue of Freedom will be completed, then small enclosures will be installed on the scaffold to prevent overspray and drift of paint as work continues down the Dome. Typically, there will be two painting sections of the Dome enclosed at a time so painters can move from one section to another.

The current exterior dome restoration will repair the crack in the dome and the scaffolding is scheduled to start coming down at the end of 2015.
