Salt Lake City will close blocks of North Temple, West Temple and South Temple from March through October 2027, when the renovated Salt Lake Temple opens to the public. The church expects about 22,000 visitors a day, comparable to a general conference crowd, and has secured two west-side park-and-ride lots with more than 1,700 stalls.
