More than a decade after it was officially
renamed, a nine-foot statue honoring former president Ronald Reagan will
be unveiled at the airport that now bears his name.
The Virginia airport
just outside the nation’s capital has borne Reagan’s name since 1998,
following the passage of Congressional legislation that was opposed by
some who were not enamored of Reagan’s legacy.
Airport
officials are warning travelers that Tuesday’s unveiling ceremony could
cause traffic delays outside the airport. Between 11 a.m. and noon, car
traffic heading for the airport’s departures and arrivals ramps will be
reduced from four lanes to one and will then be detoured around the
event site.
