The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints offers a glimpse at what Temple Square and the Main Street Plaza will look like when ongoing renovations are completed.
Major updates on the temple continue — in addition to an expansion and other renovations, it’s undergoing a seismic retrofit — the area where the North Visitors’ Center once stood is now being filled with soil to create a level surface for future construction of additional restrooms. A new water well is also being drilled.
That’ll add 1,980 feet to your walk as you circle around either the block to the east or the block to the west. The church also announced that a fourth concrete pour was completed in early March that finished the bottom floor of the north addition to the temple. This new footing is 42 inches thick and heavily reinforced with steel. The construction of shear walls and columns to support upper floors has also begun.
