Construction crews working on a new helipad at the White House have taken apart the massive granite seal that would serve as the new landing spot for Marine One, signaling potential delays in the project.
Photos captured by The Associated Press show construction workers using a jackhammer on the helipad, which no longer carries the dark gray trim of a presidential seal that was visible last week.
The White House stated it is continuing to make improvements to best match the needs of the building and its grounds, while the project is estimated to cost up to $6 million and is said to be privately funded.
