SALT LAKE CITY — Renderings for the Provo Utah and Smithfield Utah temples have been released by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Provo Utah Temple

During the 191st Semiannual General Conference in October, Church President Russell M. Nelson announced the Provo Utah Temple will be reconstructed once the Orem Utah Temple is completed.

Crews broke ground on the Orem Utah Temple last September.

Church officials said closure dates for the Provo Utah Temple will be announced at a later time.

The Provo Utah Temple was announced on Aug. 14, 1967, and dedicated on Feb. 9, 1972.
