Statue of Liberty to close in October
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.
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.
