Salt Lake Temple Renovation Reaches Its Apex

The sunny skies reflected the joyful mood on the construction site of the Salt Lake Temple renovation on Tuesday, February 13, 2024.

Nearly four years after the iconic spires of this house of the Lord were first removed for refurbishment, more than 800 construction team members gathered at a private event for the construction company to celebrate the placement of the final reinforcing steel pyramid atop the temple.

Shortly after the temple renovation began in 2020, crews carefully removed the spire stones from atop the temple for refurbishment. The exact position of each stone was mapped, catalogued, tracked and stored for cleaning to ensure a seamless return to the original spots on top of the temple. Beginning in summer 2023, reinforcing spire steel plates and the refurbished spire stones began to be added to the house of the Lord.

Regardless of your religious beliefs, the engineering behind this renovation is incredible! The Lord's house will stand and be a symbol for generations to come.

I cant even imagine how many people are going to want to go through this temple during the open house after it is completed. It will be a world reknown event.

I really hope there is a documentary about this whole project when it's completed.

You see ancient temples around the world and hopefully this will stand for the next 1000 yrs plus.

Regardless of your belief this is a national religious monument . Like so many other cathedrals and temples of other faiths, it is nice to see these wonderful landmarks dotted around the nation.

Love these videos. I hope there are many more to come and an extensive series to be released once completed.

I don't care who you are, but the engineering going into this building is absolutely insane. Amazing work by all those involved!

Please provide a video explaining the extent of renovation / remoldeling / replacement that is taking place "inside" of the SLC Temple. I understand "everything will be touched" as previously reported but are they taking it back to the studs so to speak in this renovation? Thank you.
