From staff reports 1 hr ago
Bob Brown/Times-Dispatch
8:30 a.m.: A large crane has arrived at Libby Hill Park to remove the statue from atop the Confederate Soldiers and Sailors Monument.
Prior to that crews stopped a man trying to pull down plastic fencing that's surrounding the monument. He left fairly quickly afterward.
7:29 a.m.: Traffic barrels and road closed signs have been set up Wednesday morning around the Confederate Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Libby Hill Park in Richmond's Church Hill neighborhood.
It appears that crews are preparing to remove the Confederate statue from that monument.
Dedicated in 1894, the 100-foot memorial honors Confederate enlisted men and sits at 29th Street and Libby Terrace.
