BOSTON (AP) — Three stone pil-
lars were placed Monday near
the finish line of the Boston Mara-
thon, marking the final step in a
$2 million effort to memorialize the
bombing that killed three people.
The understated monument of
granite and bronze, which took
four years to plan and develop,
was supposed to be ready last
year for the fifth anniversary of
the April 15, 2013, attack, but un-
derwent significant redesigns and
other delays.
“We hope that this will help de-
marcate the sacredness of this
spot and give people the oppor-
tunity to slow down when they’re
here,” said Bolivian-born sculptor
Pablo Eduardo as he put finishing
touches on the monuments Mon-
day. Light spires and one of the stone pillars stand along Boylston Street after installation was finished, Monday, Aug. 19, 2019, in
Boston to memorialize the Boston Marathon bombing victims at the sites where they were killed.
