A seven-foot supposedly-unscalable fence will be erected around the Capitol for at least the next 30 days, blocking off a large portion of the area that was to be used during the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, DCist reports.
The fencing, with small grids to prevent people from getting a foothold while climbing it, will be set on Constitution Avenue to Independence Avenue and from First Avenue to near the pond in front of the Capitol, according to Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy.
