Refurbishment of the Salt Lake Temple Spires Is Completed

Refurbishment of the six spires atop the Salt Lake Temple has been completed. As scaffolding is removed, the beautifully restored towers are being revealed. In early 2020, over 6,000 stones were removed, cataloged, and stored. Steel plates were used to create internal caps for the spires, providing greater seismic resistance. Before each stone was returned to its original location, it was meticulously cleaned and secured to the underlying steel structure.

The white prefabricated modules that will be used to build the temple arrived in Cody in the summer of 2023. They were staged next to the temple site almost a year later in May 2024. Once the foundation is in place, the modules will be attached.
