Work Begins Saturday for U.S. 1 Bridge Replacement Project in Jupiter

JUPITER, FL – September 23, 2021 – On Saturday, September 25, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will begin roadway improvements as part of the U.S. 1 Bridge Replacement Project. Residents can expect nighttime lane closures from 9:30 pm to 6:30 am Sunday through Saturday on U.S. 1, Indiantown Road, Alternate A1A, Old Dixie Highway and South Beach Road. These closures are to allow for roadway improvements including adding turn lanes, shifting intersections, adding a traffic signal, lengthening a turn lane, adding traffic monitoring devices and minor bridge repairs to the Alternate A1A bridge. During this first phase of work, FDOT is also installing the foundations for the replacement bridge. Residents near the bridge should anticipate heightened noise levels during pile drive activities, which will occur during daytime hours

These improvements are designed to keep traffic flowing and lessen impacts to the traveling public when the U.S. 1 Bridge is closed and traffic is detoured to Alternate A1A. The bridge will close for approximately 20 months beginning in spring 2023.

Residents can find out more about the U.S. 1 Bridge Replacement Project by attending one of FDOT's open houses next week. FDOT will host an in-person as well as a virtual open house to provide information to the public and answer any questions. Project documents will be available at the meeting and online here.

The virtual open house will be held on Tuesday, September 28 from 5:00 - 6:30 pm. Residents can register for the meeting here or call in at 1-866-952-8437, access code 760-767-358.

The in-person open house will be held on Wednesday, September 29 from 5:30-7:30 pm at the Jupiter Community Center, 200 Military Trail.
