03/07/24 – UPDATE – I was the Realtors meeting this moring and was told that the project is now 56% complete and they intend to have one lane of traffic open in each direction by the end of this year.

03/09/23 – UPDATE – FDOT announced today: “Starting on Monday, March 13, the U.S. 1 Bridge over the Loxahatchee River and Intracoastal Waterway will be closed as part of the Florida Department of Transportation’s bridge replacement project. FDOT spent the past 15 months preparing for the closure by improving intersections along the detour route. The bridge closure will last approximately 20 months, or until late 2024, at which point, a new bridge with an additional 17 feet of clearance in height and 35 feet of distance for boat passage will open to vehicular traffic.”

02/16/2023 – UPDATE – The FDOT came to the Realtors association this morning and gave us all the news. Theis bridge will close to ALL traffic on 03/13/2023 and remain closed for a now scheduled 20 months.

Interested in Buying or Selling your property? Give Chris a call at 561.818.3858.

WOW! I heard a rumor on this about a month ago and here it is. The US-1 draw bridge over the Jupiter Inlet (Loxahatchee River) from Jupiter toward Tequesta will be closed to ALL traffic for 20 months beginning in the fall of 2022. FDOT has a whole web page on this project.

The bridge will be replaced with a new bridge that has 35 feet of vertical clearance (35′ is the same as Indiantown Rd, it’s now 25′) and 125 feet of horizontal clearance, so much wider than the current 80′.
