Lady Liberty is having a tough time recently. The iconic landmark reopened to visitors just three days before the storm hit and now its closed again with no estimate of when it will reopen.
The Statue of Liberty's lamp was being illuminated Friday for the first time since it was damaged by Superstorm Sandy, the National Park Service said.
The statue's famous beacon was expected to become visible by dusk, around 6:30 p.m., according to Marjorie Hall of the National Park Foundation.
