Statue of Liberty to re-open on independence day
The Statue of Liberty will re-open on the Fourth of July, nearly eight months after the fierce winds and flooding caused damage to the island on which it stands.
The Statue of Liberty will close for a year at the end of October as it undergoes a $27.25 million renovation that will make the interior safer and more accessible, US Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced Wednesday Aug. 10, 2011.
