A federal judge blocked construction of President Donald Trump's planned 250-foot arch in Washington for 14 days, hours after the National Capital Planning Commission approved it 8-4, BBC and NPR reported1,4.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan acted on a request from the District of Columbia and Virginia, NPR said4.

The administration had told courts excavation could start as soon as the commission voted2,4.

The structure would stand at Memorial Circle on the approach to Arlington National Cemetery1,2.

Supporters on the commission, including Chair Mark Paoletta, called it a monumental gateway for veterans; opponents, including veterans who testified, said it would lessen the cemetery's setting1,2.

CBS News said the design reaches 250 feet with gilded figures and that cost and funding remain unclear2.

After the order, Global News reported a White House site branding the project as the United States Military Triumphal Arch3.

Whether Congress must separately authorize the project is among issues in the lawsuits1,2.
