Higher, stronger: Construction of new White House fence begins

Sheets of plywood, now stacked on Pennsylvania Avenue at the northwest corner of the White House grounds, will soon serve as construction fencing while a taller, stronger steel fence goes up.

The U.S. Secret Service and National Park Service are building the new fence surrounding the 18-acre White House campus, starting with one of the most-photographed views of the nation’s capital: the front of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW.

Monday morning, construction materials were covered in plastic, and in neatly stacked boxes, before the temporary fencing is built surrounding the first stretch where the current fence will be removed.

The current fence is 6 feet 6 inches tall, and will be replaced by an approximately 13 feet tall fence with wider and stronger steel fence posts.

    This isn't something President Trump asked for. It was already in the works before he was elected.

  6. It's a damn shame we need to have a fence, or the jersey barriers cordoning off the streets around the WH. Wasn't always the case. Despite a myriad of progress in other areas of our society concluding a need for this type of physical barrier diminishes all Americans.
