The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office said the package was originally found outside the building and that contents inside were unknown. However, the bomb squad determined the package was a carry-on-sized piece of luggage with nothing dangerous inside.
Due to police activity, the Utah Transit Authority put a bus bridge in place to reroute passengers around the impacted area.
Just before 4 p.m., the scene surrounding the courthouse was cleared.
