Building of the Eiffel Tower started in 1887. It opened to the
in 1889. It was built for the 1889 World's Fair in Paris. It contains 10,100 tons of
, 18,000 sections and 2.5 million rivets. The
plan was for the tower to be taken down after 20
. The French government changed its
and kept it. The
is now being repainted for the 2024 Olympics. Engineers say
it will not make the rust
go away. They say all the paint needs to be removed
. However, this would take too long. The tower would lose
revenue.
