Oklahoma City Progress
Construction crews have begun structural framing for the new Oklahoma City Oklahoma Temple tower. The temple does not have an official completion date, but it is estimated to be competed in early- to mid-2019.
Summer Break Concludes in Africa
Crews have returned to the Durban South Africa Temple site following their annual summer break. Work has resumed on attaching and waterproofing plywood decking on the temple and missionary housing facility. This layer will provide protection to the buildings from high humidity.
Construction Barrier in Raleigh
The Raleigh North Carolina Temple has already entered full construction mode following its closing last week. A temporary fence, trailers, and heavy equipment are new features on the temple grounds. Some trees are being fenced off for protection while other vegetation on the grounds is being cleared.
Steeple Progress in Lisbon
A stack of scaffolding has been set in place above the entrance of the Lisbon Portugal Temple. Crews are preparing to pour the mid-section walls of the steeple. Window openings have been framed and concrete forms are in place.
