NORFOLK, Va. - Restoration on the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial is now underway and is expected to be complete this summer.
The restoration project includes repairing structural components and exterior panels after a structural engineer found the steel supports and granite panels had deteriorated. A contractor removed the panels in October 2020.
In April, city officials say the contractor will repair the masonry and install plumbing and electrical components. The steel tower installation will start in May and then the granite sections will be attached. City officials say lane closures will be announced in advance.
