Construction research 2026-10-24: Eiffel’s 20th painting campaign was still In Progress at the June 2024 Olympic preparations. The official June 7 date concerns the Olympic rings, not finished repainting. The public audit says only almost all of the campaign was finished before the Games and the wider campaign horizon extended to 2026. The old USD60m is cleared: older reporting stated EUR60m; the audit’s EUR142.5m painting envelope also includes the 21st campaign and contingencies, not this exact scope.
