Welcome back to Salt Lake City, Olympics’ Hoberman Arch. Get a peek before the unveiling.

After nearly a decade in the shadows, the Hoberman Arch is back on display in Utah’s capital.

Crews had the 31,000-pound, 4,000-piece aluminum web installed at Salt Lake City International Airport by late Thursday morning.

It was the first time since 2014 that the structure — one of the most prominent fixtures of Utah’s 2002 Winter Olympics — has been on public display.

The semicircular aluminum web measures 36 feet tall, 72 feet wide, and opens and closes like the iris of an eye. It was the centerpiece of the Medals Plaza — the Arc de Triomphe, of sorts, for the winning Olympic athletes — as the world’s attention turned to Salt Lake City for the Games.

After the Games, the arch was moved to Rice-Eccles Stadium on the University of Utah campus. In 2014, the U. asked the city to take the artwork back.

In 2015, pieces of the arch were stolen from a city impound lot on the west side. After the theft, the arch was moved to an undisclosed indoor location.

It now can be see near a stretch of road leading toward Interstate 80 from the airport’s passenger pickup and drop-off curbs. And if Salt Lake City lands another Olympics — in, say, 2030 or 2034 — it will be there to greet the arriving athletes and visitors.

The airport plans to hold an official unveiling Tuesday.
