Hoberman Arch

[2] A restored arch was placed on display alongside the exit road of the Salt Lake City International Airport in August 2023.

Specialized knuckle assemblies, which allowed the arch to expand and contract, were fabricated by Hudson Machine Works in Brewster, NY.

Some people wanted the arch to be used in an amphitheater or some kind of concert venue, possibly at downtown's Gallivan Center or Pioneer Park.

[6] Because of these restrictions, and a lack of consensus on other options, SLOC announced plans, on December 5, 2002, to install the arch at the Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Cauldron Park.

[12] On August 29, 2023, the restored arch was unveiled alongside the exit road of the Salt Lake City International Airport.

The arch sits atop a new 10–12 foot high base, which includes the 2002 Olympic and Paralympic logos and wording memorializing Salt Lake City as the 2002 host of the games.

[17] Because of the potential of strong storms during the games, the arch was built to operate in extreme weather, including up to 70-mile (110 km) -per-hour winds.
