If you want to follow the construction of the Provo City Center LDS Temple, there is a  ”construction cam“ that lets you see the hourly progress.

You can see live shots or jump around the calendar to see progress on different days since the end of January. While there, click the interesting Time-Lapse Movie.

Currently, the camera shows the temple shell being raised by stilts. The roof and interior walls of the old tabernacle are gone, the bricks supported by concrete.

If you want to see what the finished temple and grounds will look like, see Brian Olson’s 3-D video model. You’ll see the fountain, a forest of trees, a maze of sidewalks, and very little surface parking, creating a miniature Salt Lake Temple Square in Provo’s downtown district.

Here’s a video that explains the engineering feat of putting the tabernacle on ‘stilts.’
