US 1 Bridge Replacement Project Update
We've all known this project was coming and by now most of us have seen the early stages of construction on the US1 Bridge that runs along side our iconic Jupiter Lighthouse. As of this month the plan calls for a total shutdown of both the North and South bound lanes of traffic beginning March 13th, 2023.
The best estimate right now is that the full closure will last 20 months. The channel will be maintained to allow for normal marine traffic, and once complete there will be a new vertical clearance of 42 feet and the width will be increased to 125 ft. Plans for the bridge also include the much needed addition of 8 ft. pedestrian sidewalks and 7 foot bike lanes.
