As the US Army prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary with a parade featuring nearly 30 M1A1 Abrams tanks, efforts are underway to protect Constitution Avenue from potential damage caused by the heavy vehicles. Each tank weighs around 70 tons, significantly more than the average car. Engineers are focusing on vulnerable turn points, planning to use steel plates to fortify those areas and prevent stress-related damage. Army officials are working to create a carefully planned route to mitigate any impact on the busy street's pavement.
Engineers will use steel plates and track pads to protect the busy street's pavement from potential damage during the parade of nearly 30 tanks.
'We are targeting those areas that we have concerns,' said Army Col. Jesse Curry, highlighting the measures being taken to prevent pavement damage.
