WASHINGTON (TNND)  The White House will make security upgrades to the North Portico, or front entrance, a new CNN report reveals. 
The project is expected to take months to complete and has been long-advocated for by the Secret Service. 
The upgrades are being made to fortify the White House's North Portico entrance. 
On Thursday, the North Portico, which was already covered in scaffolding, was draped by a tarp , creating an illusion of the exterior columns. 
Work has already begun on the columns, with the White House saying standard stonework and crack repairs will be done. 
A White House Official told CNN that this front-door work is not cosmetic but focused on enhancing security, much like the 90,000-square-foot ballroom construction underway on the site of the original East Wing. 
The ballroom site is expected to have a drone port, sniper nests and an underground bunker. 
The security push comes as Trump remains the target of assassination attempts, including the White House Correspondents' Dinner in April, an alleged terror plot to attack the UFC fight on the White House lawn in June, and, most recently, a new report detailing Israel sharing intel with the U.S. on an Iranian plot to kill the president. 
Cosmetic work done on the White House includes the paving of the Rose Garden, the replacement of the walkway to the Oval Office, the "Presidential Walk of Fame," the installation of 200-foot flagpoles on the lawn, and the hanging of gold signage. 
The White House official told the outlet the fortification of the North Portico is expected to be complete by mid-September.
